Elvis Presley – My Way – 1973

    Paroles

    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 traveled each and every byway
    Oh, 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
    Oh, 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 I 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 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 words he truly feels
    And not the words of one who kneels
    The record shows I took the blows
    And did it my way

    The record shows I took the blows
    And did it my way
