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
