My Way Lyrics - Singles - Matell

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 ev'ry highway; 

But 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, 

But 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, 

"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!
