And

now,

the

end

is

near

And

so

I

face

the

fin-

al

cur-

tain

My

friend,

I'll

say

it

clear

I'll

state

my

case,

of

which

I'm

cer-

tain

I've

lived

a

life

that's

full

I

trav-

eled

each

and

eve-

ry

high-

way

And

more,

much

more

than

this

I

did

it

my

way

Re-

grets,

I've

had

a

few

But

then

a-

gain,

too

few

to

men-

tion

I

did

what

I

had

to

do

And

saw

it

through

with-

out

ex-

emp-

tion

I

planned

each

chart-

ed

course

Each

care-

ful

step

a-

long

the

by-

way

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

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

los-

ing

And

now,

as

tears

sub-

side

I

find

it

all

so

a-

mus-

ing

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

him-

self,

then

he

has

naught

To

say

the

things

he

tru-

ly

feels

And

not

the

words

of

one

who

kneels

The

re-

cord

shows

I

took

the

blows

And

did

it

my

way

Yes

it

was

my

way
