My Way

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
Ive traveled each and evry 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 exemption.

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
But 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.

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!
