My Way

( Written by P.Anka - J.Revaux )

And now the end is near
And so I face my 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've travelled each and every highway
But 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
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each and chartered course
Each careful step along the bi-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
And 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

Yes, I've lived, I've laughed and cried
And then I've had my share of losing
But when my tears subside
Oh, it's all so amusing
Just to think I did all that
And I did not do it in a shy way
Oh no, oh no not me
I did it my way

For what is a women what has she got
If she ain't got herself then she has not
To say the things she truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
And I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
