Claude François - My Way (Comme D'Habitude) lyrics

(Claude François/Jacques Revaux/Gilles Thibaut) English lyrics : Paul Anka

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 traveled each and every highway;

But 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 by-way,

But 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,

"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.
