my way
elvis presley
my way---elvis presley
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 a life that''''s full
i''''ve traveled each and ev''''ry 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 exemption
i planned each charted course
each careful step along the byway
and more, much more than this
i did it my way
yes,there were times,i''''m sure you knew
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 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 man,what has he got?
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 it my way
