My Way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
If not himself, then he has not
The record shows I took the blows
I've lived a life that's full

I planned each charted course
But then again, too few to mention
I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all and I stood tall
For what is a man, what has he got
Oh, no, no not me
And not the words he would reveal
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
To say the words he truly feels

The record shows I took the blows
Oh, and more, much more than this

To think I did all that
And did it my way
I find it all so amusing
And may I say, not in a shy way
Regrets, I've had a few
And saw it through without exception

My friend, I'll say it clear
I've traveled each and every highway
But through it all when there was doubt
Each careful step along the byway
I did it my way
And did it my way

And now as tears subside
I did it my way

I did what I had to do
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you know
When I bit off more than I could chew
I've had my fails, my share of losing
