and when the end is near and when i face the final curtain my friend ill say it clear ill state my case of which im certain i live a life thats full i travel each and every highway at any age ill turn the page and do it my way regrets there ll be a few but then again to few to mention its true what i have to do i see it through without exemption i plan each charted course ill take each step along lifes byway this much i know each day i grow i do it my way bridge yes there are times we all go through when we bite off more than we can chew but through it all when there is doubt i dont give up i work it out i face it all and i stand tall and do it my way i love i laugh i cry i live a life thats of my choosing i refuse to live a lie to win at life and never losing just to think thats where im at each day i say not in a shy way i must be free free to be me and do it my way bridge for what are we all what have you got if not yourself then you have not just say the things you truly feel and not the words of one who kneels the record shows god only knows i did it my way
