About My Way Day

DESCRIPTION:

My Way Day is a day to reflect on the meaning of a song Frank Sinatra made popular called My Way.

The song was recorded on December 30, 1968 and released on June 14, 1969.

Though several decades old, the song continues to be a favorite of free spirits. It’s about a man look back at his life and feeling content with you he lived it.

The lyrics were written by Paul Anka and the composition comes from a 1967 French song composed by Claude François and Jacques Revaux entitled Comme d'habitude.

MY WAY

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

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 not
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

Yes it was my way
