My Way - Dany Brillant

And now, the end is near

And so i face the final curtain

My frieend, I’ll say it clear

I’ll state my case, of wich 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 charted course

Each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this

I did 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 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 !
