[00:03.30] My Way
[00:06.30] Paul Anka
[00:09.30]
[00:28.56] And now, the end is near,
[00:34.32] and so I face, the final curtain.
[00:40.67] My friend, I'll say it clear,
[00:46.74] I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
[00:52.96] I've lived, a life that's full,
[00:58.65] I've traveled each and every highway.
[01:05.14] And more, much more than this,
[01:10.82] I did it my way.
[01:16.00]
[01:17.39] Regrets, I've had a few,
[01:23.17] but then again, too few to mention.
[01:29.36] I did, what I had to do,
[01:34.84] and saw it through, without exemption.
[01:41.36] I planned, each charted course,
[01:46.82] each careful step, along the byway,
[01:53.34] and more, much more than this,
[01:59.01] I did it my way.
[02:04.20] Yes, there were times,
[02:07.68] I'm sure you knew,
[02:10.58] When I bit off, more than I could chew.
[02:16.47] But through it all,
[02:19.55] when there was doubt,
[02:22.37] I ate it up, and spit it out.
[02:25.15] I faced it all, and I stood tall,
[02:34.24] and did it my way.
[02:40.75]
[02:42.74] I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
[02:47.13] I've had my fill; my share of losing.
[02:53.32] And now, as tears subside,
[02:58.82] I find it all so amusing.
[03:06.39] To think, I did all that,
[03:11.26] and may I say not in a shy way,
[03:17.49] "Oh no, oh no not me,
[03:23.39] I did it my way".
[03:28.06] For what is a man, what has he got?
[03:34.80] If not himself, then he has naught.
[03:40.40] To say the things, he truly feels,
[03:46.86] And not the words, of one who kneels.
[03:52.64] The record shows, I took the blows
[03:59.16] And did it my way!
[04:11.33]
