And now, the end is near<br />And so I face that final curtain<br />My friend, I'll make it clear<br />I'll state my case, of which I'm certain<br />I've lived a life that's full<br />I've travelled each and every highway<br />And more, much more<br />I did it, I did it my way<br />Regrets, I've had a few<br />But then again, too few to mention<br />I did what I had to do<br />I saw it through without exemption<br />I planned each charted course<br />Each careful step along the byway<br />And more, much, much more<br />I did it, I did it my way<br />Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew<br />When I bit off more than I could chew<br />But through it all, when there was doubt<br />I ate it up and spit it out<br />I faced it all and I stood tall<br />And did it my way<br />For what is a man, what has he got?<br />If not himself, then he is not<br />Not to say the things that he truly feels<br />And not the words of someone who kneels<br />Let the record show I took all the blows<br />And did it my way
