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.
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 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!
Listen little child,
There will come a day,
When you will be able,
Able to say,
Never mind the pain,
Or the aggravation
You found there's
A better way
For you and me to be
Look for the rainbow
in every storm
Fly like an angel,
Heaven sent to me
Goodbye my friend
(I know you're gone
you said you're gone
but I can still feel you here)
it's not the end
(you've gotta keep it strong
till the pain turns into fear)
So glad you made it,
Time will never change it
(no, no, no, no)
Just a little girl, big
Imagination never letting
no one take it away. Went into
the world, what a revelation, she
found there's a better way for you
and me to be.
Look for the rainbow in every storm
found out for certain love is gonna
be there for you, you'll always be
someones baby
So glad you made it
Time will never change it
(no, no, no, no)
The times when we would play about
The way we used to scream and
shout. We never dreamt you'd go
your own sweet way.
Look for the rainbow in every storm
found out for certain love is gonna
be there for you, you'll always be
someones baby
So glad you made it,
Time will never never ever change it
(no, no, no, no) you know it's time to
say goodbye (no, no, no, no) and
don't forget you rely. I will help, help
you on your way. I will be with you
every day.
