My Way-Fausto Papetti

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've traveled each and ev'ry 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 charted course; Each careful step along the byway 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 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 "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 naught 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!
