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´ve travelled 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 exemption I planned Each chartered course Each careful step Along the By way And more Much more than this I dit 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 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
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´d truly feels And not the words Of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way
