and now the end is near 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 exception
i planned each charted course each careful step along the byway oh, and more, much more than this i did it my way
yes, there were times, i'm sure you know 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 fails, 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, 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 words he truly feels and not the words he would reveal the record shows i took the blows and did it my way the record shows i took the blows and did it my way
