My Way - 曹格

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

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

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 lived a life that''s full

I''ve traveled each and ev''ry highway

And more much more than this

I 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 naught

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows -
