Song | My Way(Jerry Capehart, Cochran) |
Artist | The Who |
Album | Odds & Sods (Original recording remastered) |
Written:Paul Anka/Claude Francois Ravaux/Gilles Thibault | |
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 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 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 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, | |
'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. | |
The record shows I took the blows - | |
And did it my way! |
