1. MARILYN MONROE My way Frank Sinatra

2. And the now, the end is near;

3. And so I face the final curtain

4. My friend, I'll say it clear

5. I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

6. I've lived a life that's full.

7. I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;

8. And more, much more than this,

9. I did it my way.

10. Regrets, I've had a few;

11. But then again, too few to mention.

12. I did what I had to do

13. And saw it through without exemption.

14. I planned each charted course;

15. Each careful step along the byway,

16. And more, much more than this,

17. I did it my way.

18. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

19. When I bit off more than I could chew.

20. But through it all, when there was doubt,

21. I ate it up and spit it out

22. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.

23. I've loved, I've laughed and cried.

24. I've had my fill; my share of losing

25. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.

26. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way,

27. “ Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way".

28. For what is a man, what has he got?

29. If not himself, then he has naugh

30. To say the things he truly feels;

31. And not the words of one who kneels.

32. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!
