Sangtekst: Dany Brillant. Puerto Rico. My Way.


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 !
