My Way

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 travelled each
And every highway
Avobe 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 chartered course
Each careful step
Along the
By way
And 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
Oh 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 not
To say the things
Hed truly feels
And not the words
Of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes if I it my way
