My  Way
and  now  the  end  is  near
and  so  i  face  the  final  curtain
my  friend  ill  say  it  clear
i'll  state  my  case
of  which  im  certain
i've  lived  a  life  thats  full
i've  traveled  each  and  evry  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  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  ive  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
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
and  did  it  my  way
the  record  shows  i  took  the  blows
