AND NOW, 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 TRAVELLED EACH
AND EVERY HIGHWAY
OH, 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 CHARTERED COURSE
EACH CAREFUL STEP
ALONG THE BYWAY
OH, 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 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
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
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 WORDS
HE TRULY FEELS
AND NOT THE WORDS
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...
