And now , the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend , Ill say it clear
Ill state my case , of which Im certain
Ive lived a life thats full
I traveled each and every highway
And more , much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets , Ive had a few
But then again , too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without excemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more , much more than this
I did it my way
Yes , there were times , Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all , when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
Ive loved , Ive laughed and cried
Ive had my fill , my share of losing
And now , as tears subside
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 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
And did it my way
Yes , it was my way
And so I face the final curtain
My friend , Ill say it clear
Ill state my case , of which Im certain
Ive lived a life thats full
I traveled each and every highway
And more , much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets , Ive had a few
But then again , too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without excemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more , much more than this
I did it my way
Yes , there were times , Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all , when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
