My Way

My Way - The Drifters

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 every highway

But more much more than this

I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few

And then again

Too few to mention

I did all I had to do

And saw it through

Without exemption

I planned

Each charted course

Each carefuls day

Along the byway

Oh but more

Much more than this

I did it my way

Yes there were times

I'm sure you knew

I bit off

More than I could chew

But in those times

When the there was doubt

I ate it up

And spit it out

Yes through it all

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

Oh when now

As tears subside

I find it all

So damn amusing

Just to think

I did all that

And may I say

Not in a shy way

Oh but more

Much more than this

I did it my way

For what is a man

What has he got

Gave not himself

Then he has naught

Then time to say

When he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way
