And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain.

My friends I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway

And more much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
And then again too few to mention

I did what I had to do
Though I saw with through without exemption

I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way

And more much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were times
I'm sure you knew
When 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 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 girl
What has she got?
If not herself, then she has not
