And

now

the

end

is

near

and

so

I

face

the

fi-

nal

cur-

tain

my

friend

.

I'll

say

it

clear

I'll

state

_my

case

of

wich

I'm

cer-

tain

I've

lived

a

life

that's

_full

I've

tra_velled_each

and

ev-

'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

chat-

tered

course

each

_care

ful

step

a

long

the

by

way

but

more

muh

more

than

this

I

did

it

my

way

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

face it

all - - -

and

I stood

tall - - -

and did it

My - - -

way - - -

I've

loved - - -

I' ve laughed &

cried - - -

I' ve had my

fill - - -

my share of

lo -

sing - - -

and

now

as tears sub-

side

I

find it

all - - -

so

am -

u -

sing - - -

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

not - - -

to say the

things - - -

he tru-ly

feel - - -

and not the

words

of one who

kneels - - -

the

re-cord

shows - - -

I took the

blows - - -

and did it

my - - -

way - - -
