And now, the end is near
And so I face that final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
Don’t you know? I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill my share of losing
And now, as my tears subside
I gotta tell you, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say - not in a shy way
"Oh no, oh no not me”
I just did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
God knows I did it my way
I did it my way
Yes, I did it my way
