My Way

My Way - Tony Ray

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 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

The record shows I took the blows

I did it my way
