My Way

作词 : Gilles Thibault

作曲 : Claude François/Jacques Revaux

And now, the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I'll say it clear

And state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

I've traveled each and every highway

More, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few

But than 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

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 all and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, 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 mouse, 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
