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 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 chartered course
Each careful step alone the 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 and cried
I've had my fill my share of loosing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that, and might 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.
