Andy Williams - My May

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 travelled 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 chartered 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 naughtt
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
