And  now,the  end  is  near
And  so  I  face  the  final  curtain.
My  friend,Ill  say  it  clear
Ill  state  my  case,of  which  Im  certain.
Ive  lived  a  life  thats  full.
Ive  traveled  each  and  evry  highway;
And  more,much  more  than  this
I  did  it  my  way.
Regrets,Ive  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,Im  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.
Ive  loved,Ive  laughed  and  cried.
Ive  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!
Yes  it  was  my  way.............
