My Way
Vic Taylor Lyrics

And now, the end is near
As my journey comes to an end, I realize that the end is near

And so I face the final curtain
I am approaching the final stage of my life, where everything comes to a close

My friends, I'll say it clear
I want to be open and honest with everyone, especially my friends

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I want to express my views and opinions, and I am confident about them

I've lived a life that's full
I have experienced everything that life has to offer

I traveled each and every highway (traveled every highway)
I have explored all the roads and paths that life has to offer

And more, much more than this (more)
In fact, I have experienced even more than just the roads and paths

I did it my way
I lived my life on my own terms and did what I thought was right

Regrets, I've had a few
I have made some mistakes in my life, and I regret them

But then again, too few to mention
However, these mistakes were not significant enough to be remembered

I did what I had to do
I did what I needed to do in order to achieve my goals

And saw it through without exemption
I was persistent and did not give up until I achieved what I wanted

I planned each charted course
I made careful plans and followed them

Each careful step along the byway (step along the byway)
I took each step thoughtfully and carefully, making sure I was on the right path

Yes, there were times (there were times), I'm sure you knew
There were times in my life when I faced difficulties and struggles

When I bit off more than I could chew (bit off more than I could chew)
I took on more responsibilities than I could handle

And through it all, when there was doubt (ah ah ah ah)
Even in times of uncertainty and self-doubt, I persevered

I ate it up and spit it out (ah ah)
I faced my challenges and came out on top

I faced it all and I stood tall
I faced all the challenges that life threw at me and overcame them, without backing down

And did it my way
I did everything according to my own rules and principles

I've loved, and laughed and cried
I have experienced all the emotions that make us human- love, laughter, and tears

I had my fill, my share of losing
I have had my fair share of setbacks and failures in life

And now, as tears subside
As time passes, the pain of these losses has diminished

I find it all so amusing
Looking back, I find it ironic how I used to worry about things that no longer matter

To think I did all that
It's amazing to realize all the things I have accomplished in my life

And may I say, not in a shy way (say not in a shy way)
I can say this proudly, without any hesitation or embarrassment

Oh no, oh no, not me (no)
This is because I am a confident person who believes in himself

For what is a man (is a man), what has he got
What is the point of being alive if you don't have anything to live for?

If not himself, then he has naught (himself, then he has naught)
If someone cannot be themselves, then they have nothing

To say the things he truly feels (ah ah)
It is essential for a person to express their true feelings

And not the words of one who kneels (ah ah)
They should speak their own words, not just recite someone else's opinions

The record shows I took the blows (ah ah)
Looking back at my life, I have had to face many challenges and hardships

And did it my way (my way)
But no matter what happened, I always dealt with it in my own way.
