Doing time

And now the end is near
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 traveled 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 exception
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, i'm sure you know
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 fails, 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
For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not
To say the words he truly feels
And not the words he would reveal
The record shows i took the blows
And did it my way
The record shows i took the blows
And did it my way
