My Way Songtext
von Nina Simone

(Reprise d′une chanson de Franck Sinatra, d'après Comme d′habitude de Claude François)

And now the end is near
I saw a 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 every highway
And more much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets 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 exception
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh and more much more than this
I did it my way


Yes there were times I′m sure you know
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 fails my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And now may I say not in a shy way
Oh no no not me
I did it my way

Oh what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
Not the words that aren't his
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
