Lyrics

[00:06.100] And now, the end is near;
[00:11.100] And so I face the final curtain.
[00:18.100] My friend, I'll say it clear,
[00:23.100] I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
[00:31.100] I've lived a life that's full.
[00:37.100] I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
[00:43.100] And more, much more than this,
[00:49.100] I did it my way.
[00:56.100] Regrets, I've had a few;
[01:02.100] But then again, too few to mention.
[01:08.100] I did what I had to do
[01:14.100] And saw it through without exemption.
[01:21.100] I planned each charted course;
[01:27.100] Each careful step along the byway,
[01:34.100] But more, much more than this,
[01:39.100] I did it my way.
[01:45.100] Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
[01:52.100] When I bit off more than I could chew.
[01:59.100] But through it all, when there was doubt,
[02:05.100] I ate it up and spit it out.
[02:11.100] I faced it all and I stood tall;
[02:18.100] And did it my way.
[02:24.100] I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
[02:30.100] I've had my fill; my share of losing.
[02:37.100] And now, as tears subside,
[02:43.100] I find it all so amusing.
[02:50.100] To think I did all that;
[02:55.100] And may I say - not in a shy way,
[03:03.100] "Oh no, oh no not me,
[03:08.100] I did it my way".
[03:14.100] For what is a man, what has he got?
[03:21.100] If not himself, then he has naught.
[03:27.100] To say the things he truly feels;
[03:34.100] And not the words of one who kneels.
[03:41.100] The record shows I took the blows -
[03:48.100] And did it my way!
[04:14.100] Yes, it was my way
