My Way

And now, the end is near
 And so I face the final curtain.
 My friends, I'll say it clear,
 And 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, 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.
 And I planned each charted course,
 each careful step along life's by way
 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, I cried
 I've had my fill, my share of losing.
 And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
 Just 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.
 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, my way.
