Jari Sillanpaa - My Way lyrics

rate me

(Music by J. Revaud - C. François, lyrics by Paul Anka)

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 traveled each and every 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 not

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.<br />
