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.
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 ev'ry 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
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,
But 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.
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 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.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
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 naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
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!
