And now the end is near,
and 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 traveled each
and ev'ry high-way
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,
I saw it thru without exemption
I planned each chartered course,
each careful step
along the by-way
But 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
But thru it all
When there was doubt,
I ate it up, and split 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 feel,
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 not
to say the things
he truly feels
And not the words
of one who kneels
The records show
I took the blows,
and did it my way
The records show
I took the blows
And did it myway...[start]../song/9/9608.MID[stop]
