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 / lived a life that's full
I travelled / have travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had / had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had / have had to do
And saw / have seen it through without exemption
I planned / have planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did / have done it my way
Yes, there were times
I'm sure you have known / knew
When I bit off / have bitten off
More than I could chew
But through it all
When there was doubt
I ate it up / have eaten it up and spit it out / spat it up
I´ve faced / faced it all and I stood / stood tall
And have done / did it my way
I've / loved, I laughed / have laughed and have cried / cried
I've had / 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´ve done / did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got / does he have?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did / have done it my way
Yes, It has been / was my way
