My Way

And now the end is near,
and so I face the final curtain,
My friend, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each and every highway,
And more, much more than this, I did it My Way.

Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too fine to mention,
I did what I had to do, and saw it thru without exemption.
I planned each chartered course,
each careful 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 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 girl what has she got, if not herself,
then she has not to say all the thins she truly feels.
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows,
and did it My Way.
