[03:43.00]And now, the end is near;
[03:43.00]And so I face the final curtain.
[03:43.00]
[03:43.00]My friend, I'll say it clear,
[03:43.00]I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
[03:43.00]I've lived a life that's full.
[03:43.00]I've traveled each and evry highway;
[03:43.00]And more, much more than this,
[03:43.00]I did it my way.
[03:43.00]Regrets, I've had a few;
[03:43.00]But then again, too few to mention.
[03:43.00]I did what I had to do
[03:43.00]And saw it through without exemption.
[03:43.00]I planned each charted course;
[03:43.00]Each careful step along the byway,
[03:43.00]But more, much more than this,
[03:43.00]I did it my way.
[03:43.00]Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
[03:43.00]When I bit off more than I could chew.
[03:43.00]
[03:43.00]But through it all, when there was doubt,
[03:43.00]I ate it up and spit it out.
[03:43.00]I faced it all and I stood tall;
[03:43.00]And did it my way.
[03:43.00]I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
[03:43.00]I've had my fill; my share of losing.
[03:43.00]And now, as tears subside,
[03:43.00]I find it all so amusing.
[03:43.00]To think I did all that;
[03:43.00]And may I say - not in a shy way,
[03:43.00]No, oh no not me,
[03:43.00]I did it my way.
[03:43.00]For what is a man, what has he got?
[03:43.00]If not himself, then he has naught.
[03:43.00]To say the things he truly feels;
[03:43.00]And not the words of one who kneels.
[03:43.00]The record shows I took the blows -
[03:43.00]And did it my way!
