My Way Songtext
von Vera Lynn

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 travelled each and every 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 chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
And 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
"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
And did it my way

Yes, it was my way
