And nowwww the end is near

& 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've Traveled each and every highway

and More, much more than this

I did it, myyyy.... 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 ex-emption

I planned each charted course

Each careful step, along the byway

And more, much more than this

I did it, myyyy way

Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew

When I bit off, moreeee than I could chew

But through it allllllll, when there was doubt

I ate it up, and spit it out

I faced it all, and I stood tall

And did it myyyyy 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 soooo 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 myyy way

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught

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.. myyy way......................

Yes, it was my way...............

~ Sung by Frank Sinatra in 1969
