Raul Malo - My Way Lyrics

And now the end is near
And 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 travelled 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 few to mention
I did what I had to do
I saw it through, without exemption

I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along 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
And 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 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 man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the word of one who kneels
The record shows, I took the blows
And did it my way

The record shows, I took the blows
And did it my way
