My Way Nina Simone

And now, the end is near and so I’ve got to face
The final curtain
Friends I’ll say clear and 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

Yeah, 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’ve planned each charted course
Each careful footstep along the byway
Yeah, and more, much more than this
I did my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off much more than i could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it all and spat it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've laughed and cried, 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 sly way
Oh, no no no, no not me
I did it my way
