My Way

And
now, the end is near;

And so I face the final curtain.

My friend, I’ll say it clear,

Ill state my case, of which I’m certain.

I’ve
lived a life that’s full.

I’ve traveled each and every highway;

And 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!
