My Way Lyrics - Shirley Bassey

And now, the end is near; 

And so I face the final curtain. 

My friend, Ill say it clear, 

Ill state my case, of which Im certain. 

Ive lived a life thats full. 

Ive traveled each and evry highway; 

And more, much more than this, 

I did it my way. 

Regrets, Ive 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, Im 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. 

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried. 

Ive 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!
