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 traveled each and every highways
And more, much more than this, hm
I did it my way

Regrets, hm, 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, yes
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, yeah, much more than this, woo
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

Loved, I've laughed, and I've cried
I've had my fill, mm, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing, ah
To think we did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not, not me, no
I did it my way, sing with me, come on

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
