my way

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'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 exemption, i planned each chartered 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, 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 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 not, 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, and did it my way
