And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends 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 highway
And more much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I ve had a few
And then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
Though I saw with through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
And more much more than this
I did it my way
Yes there were times
I m sure you knew
When 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 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
