Strophe)

And now, the end is near 

And so I face, the final curtain 

My friend, Ill say it clear

Ill state my case, of which Im certain 

 

Strophe) 

Ive lived, a life4 thats full 

Ive traceled each, and every highway

But more, much more than this 

I did it my way

 

Strophe) 

Regrets, Ive had a few 

But then again, too few to mention 

I did, what I hat to do 

And saw it through, without exemption

 

Strophe) 

I planned, each chartered course 

Ech careful step, along the byway 

But mor, much more than this 

I did it my way 

 

Bridge) 

Yes, there were times, Im 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

 

Strophe) 

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried

Ive had my fill, my share of losing 

And now, as tears subside 

I find it all so amusing 

 

Strophe) 

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 

 

Strophe) 

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

And did it my way
