And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends 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 every highway
And more much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I\'ve had a few
And then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
Though I saw with through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
And more much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were times
I\'m sure you knew
When 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 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 girl
What has she got?
If not herself, then she has not
To say the things she truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
