And now the end is here And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll set it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I live a life that's poor I've travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this I did it my way
Regrets, I had a few But then again, too few to mention
I did what I have to do But through it all, without exemption
I planned each chattel course Each cable 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 had it all, I spent it all
I paid it all, and after all I did it my way
I've laughed, I've laughed and cried I've fought my fear, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside I find it oh, oh 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
Why this young woman, what has she got? If not herself, then she has naught
To say the things she should have used And not the words I have to use
But through it all, when there was doubt I had it all, I spent it all
I spent it all
