And now, the end is here
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 ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, he had a few
But then again, too few to mention
He did what he had to do, he saw it through without exemption
And he planned each charted course, each careful step along life's byway
And more, much more than this, he did it his way
I've loved (he loved), I've laughed and cried (laughed and cried)
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now (And now), as tears subside (As tears subside), I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say (And may I say), not in a shy way (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 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
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
