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

And 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

I 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 girl what has she got

If not herself then she has naught

To say the things She truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

I did it my way

Yes it was my way
