My Way

Brenda Lee · Love Songs Just for You [1984]

(P.Anka - J.Revaux)



And now the end is near

And so I face my 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 travelled each and every highway

But 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 and chartered course

Each careful step along the bi-way

But 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

And thru 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.



Yes, I've lived, I've laughed and cried

And then I've had my share of losing

But when my tears subside

Oh, it's all so amusing

Just to think I did all that

And I did not do it in a shy way

Oh no, oh no not me

I did it my way.



For what is a women what has she got

If she ain't got herself then she has not

To say the things she truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

And I faced it all and I stood tall

And did it my way...
