And nowthe end is near
So I face the 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
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 exception

I planned
each charted course
Each careful step
along the byway
Oh, and more,
much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times,
I'm sure you know
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

I've loved,
I've laughed and cried
I've had my fails,
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, no not me
I did it my way

For what is a man,
what has he got
If not himself,
then he has not
To say the words
he truly feels
And not the words
he would reveal
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way...[start]../song/5/5306.MID[stop]
