Brook Benton - My Way lyrics

rate me

And now, the end is near<br />

Lord, you know, I got to<br />

Face the final curtain<br />

<br />

My friends<br />

I'll say it real clear<br />

Let me state my case<br />

Of which I'm certain<br />

<br />

I've lived, I've lived<br />

A life that's full<br />

I've traveled each<br />

And every highway<br />

<br />

More than this, man<br />

I wanna talk about just a<br />

Little bit more than this<br />

I did it my, my, my, my<br />

My, my, my, my, my, my way<br />

<br />

Regrets, well<br />

I've had me a few<br />

But then again<br />

Too doggone few to mention<br />

<br />

I did what I had to do<br />

And I saw it through<br />

Without exemption<br />

<br />

And took my time and<br />

Planned each charted course<br />

Each careful step<br />

Along the byway<br />

<br />

And more than this<br />

More than this, more<br />

Than this, more than this<br />

More than this, more than this<br />

I did it my, my, my, my<br />

My, my, my, my, my, my way<br />

<br />

Yes, there were times<br />

I'm sure you knew<br />

When I kinda bit off<br />

A little but more<br />

Than I could chew<br />

<br />

But by the help of God<br />

When there was doubt<br />

People, I ate it up<br />

Yes, and I spit it out<br />

<br />

I faced it all<br />

And I stood tall<br />

And did it my way, my way<br />

My, my, my, my way<br />

<br />

I've loved, yes, I have<br />

I've laughed and cried<br />

God knows I've had my fill<br />

My share of losing<br />

<br />

And now, now, now<br />

As tears subside<br />

I find it all so amusing<br />

<br />

Now just to think<br />

I did all that<br />

And may I say<br />

Not in a shy way<br />

<br />

Woah, no, no, no, no, no<br />

No, no, no, no, not me<br />

Man, I had to do it my way<br />

My way<br />

<br />

What is a man<br />

Tell me what has he got<br />

If not himself<br />

Then, people, he has not<br />

<br />

He's gotta say the things<br />

He truly feels<br />

And not the words<br />

Of one who kneels<br />

<br />

My record shows<br />

I had to take a few blows<br />

But I did it my way
