Lyrics

[Intro] You guessed it, folks [Verse 1] And now the end is near (If you know the words, sing, but if you don't, shut up, it'll sound crap) The final curtain My friends, I'll say it clear And state my case, on which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I've travelled each and every highway (Come on) And more (Everybody), much more than this I did it my way [Interlude] Now I couldn't finish the show without mentioning someone else here tonight I share a lot of the same mannerisms as this person People say I sing a bit like him, too He's madе me who I am All of the good things, and a touch of the bad And I wouldn't bе where I am without him We haven't performed together for twenty-five years But I've wanted to every day since Please welcome to the stage, my dad [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] Tell it like it is, dad [Verse 2] Regrets, I've had a few (Me, too) But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exception I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway I'm sorry about that I know, dad You always had it in you Now look at you, you're one of the gods [Bridge] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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, no not me I did it my way [Outro] 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 a blow And did it my way I did it my way
