Paul Anka, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Gipsy Kings, Elvis Presley, Michel Sardou, Claude François, Thomas Dutronc and Patrick Fiori - MY WAY

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 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 charted course
Each careful step along the byway
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 not
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
