My Way

And when the end is near,
And when I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear.
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
I live a life thats full,
I travel each and every highway.
At any age, Ill turn the page,
And do it my way.
Regrets, therell be a few.
But then again, too few to mention.
Its true, what I have to do,
I see it through without exemption.
I plan each charted course,
That Ill take each step
Along lifes byway.
This much I know, each day I grow,
I do it my way.
Yes, there are times,
We all go through.
When we bite off more than we can chew.
But through it all, when there is doubt,
I dont give up, I work it out.
And I face it all and I stand tall!
And do it my way!
I love, I laugh, I cry.
I live a life thats of my choosing.
I refuse, refuse to live a life
To win at life and never losing.
Just to think thats where I matter
Each day I say
Not in a shy way
I must be free, free to be me,
And do it my way!
For what are we?
What have you got?
Its not yourself
Then you have not
Just say the things you truly feel
And not the words of one who kneels
The records show,
God only knows I did it my way!
This much I know, each day I grow
I do it my WAY!
