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 traveled each and ev'ry highway; But more, much more than this, I did 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 charted course Each careful step along the byway, But more, much, much more I did 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 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. The record shows I took the blows And did it my way!
