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'VE 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 FEW TO MENTION
I DID
WHAT I HAD TO DO
AND SAW IT THROUGH
WITHOUT EXEMPTION
I PLANNED
EACH CHARTED COURSE
EACH CAREFUL STEP
ALONG THE BYWAY
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 NOT
TO SAY THE THINGS
HE TRULY FEELS
AND NOT THE WORDS
OF ONE WHO YIELDS
THE RECORD SHOWS
I TOOK THE BLOWS
AND DID IT
MY WAY
6 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
YES
IT WAS
MY WAY
