My Way - Little Milton

And now

The end is near

So I face

The final curtain

My friend

I'll say it clear

I'll state my case

For which I'm certain

I've lived

A life that's full

I've traveled each and every highway

And more

Much more than this

I did it my way

Regrets

Oh I've had a few

But then again

Too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through

Oh without exemption

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

And more much more than this

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 I'll 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've had my fill

My share of losing

And now as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

Just to think

And 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 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

Oh yes oh yes

It was my way

Yes my friend

I real did do it my way
