Overall Meaning

The song My Way by Robin Williams is actually a cover of the classic song written by Paul Anka and made famous by Frank Sinatra. In this version, Williams sings in Spanish, lamenting the end of a relationship which he asserts was "divine." He declares to his friends that he is sure of himself and asserts that he is "a man with nothing more, if not a gentleman with tears." Williams goes on to insist that one must "fight, win, stand out and do it (their) way" in order to truly be themselves.

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 highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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


[Verse 4]
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my share, my fill 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

[Verse 5]
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

[Outro]
Yes, it was my way

No playback, no enhancement. 100% live performance. He is greatness.

@MrXentinel

If You or Me pay money for a concert and its a playback.. f... atleast give a "cd "to compare it to afterwards

@c.w.steffensen7691

There is no one over him in my book!

@MarioCola

Back to when he used to do drugs ❤️

@c.w.steffensen7691

@@MarioCola his clean and has been for many years now. All young people do stupid things and Robbie was trying to selfmedicate but that is never a god idea but back then he didnt know he was sick from being affraid for open places. But he is still great and that song i have heard him sing some years ago 🙂

@MarioCola

@@c.w.steffensen7691 who said I was being critical? 😂 He just old now, or he would be still having his fun 😂😂

Why am I crying>? he sings like it is the easiest thing in the world, you can feel the love in this song, the passion, the sadness, the joy, the happiness. How is it possible to feel a bunch of emotions coming from a beautiful song and voice like that? I have never heard this version until now.

@c.w.steffensen7691

You are not alone - I dont eighter what it is but have learned over the years his voice has something extreme special that goes under your skin and does something for your emotions that I cant put words on but there is magic somewhere in that voice!

@racingworld6466

Vocally it's not hugely challenging, but to sing it well, that's the hard part
