My Way Lyrics - American Idol

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 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 

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 

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 kneels 

The record shows I took the blows 

And did it my way 

Yes it was my way
