And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends 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 with a tax exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And oh 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
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

I've loved I've laughed and cried
Shed my tears my share of boozing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so confusing
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 show the word or stony heals
And not the words on one who kneels
The records show I took the blows
And did it my way
The record shows I took the blow
And did it my way
