My Way Lyrics - Herman Brood

And now, the end is here 

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 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 my way! 

Yes, it was my way
