I ..................... (to face) it all
And I stood ..................... 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 ..................... subside
I find it all so .....................
To think I did all that
And may I say not in a ..................... way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

If not himself then he ..................... (to have) not
To say the things he truly ..................... (to feel)
And not the ..................... of one who ..................... (to kneel)
The record ..................... (to show) I ..................... (to take) the blows
And did it my way
Yes it was my way

Full Lyrics & translation

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

Yes it was my way
