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.

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
And through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spat it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way.

I've loved i've laughed and cried
I've 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.
