And now the end is near, 
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 high-way.
And more, much more than this, 
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few,
but then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do,
I saw it thru without exemption.
I planned each chartered course,
each careful step along the by-way.
But 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 thru 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've 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 he truly feels.
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows, I took the blows,
and did it my way
The record show, I took the blows
And did it my...way
