My Way Songtext
von Herman Brood

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, I say it clear
I′ll state my case, of which I'm certain

I′ve loved a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I 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 chattered course
Each careful step along the highway
And more, much more than that
I did it my way


Yes, there were times
I′m sure you knew
When I bit more off 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 nothin'
To say the words he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneel
The record shows, I took the blows and did it my way

Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way
