3. My Way And now, the end is near
And so I (1) _______ the final curtain / meet/ face
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll (2) ________ my case, of which I’m certain 2/ state/ say
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I’ve (3) _______ each and every highway 3/ traveled/ ridden

Regrets, I’ve had (4)________ / a lot/ a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I (5) ________ to do / had/ wanted
And saw it through without exemption,
I planned each charted course,
Each careful (6)_______ along the byway 6/ step/ stop
Yes, there were (7)_______, / days/ times
I’m sure you knew,
When I bit off
More than I could (8) ________ / chew/ eat
But through it all,
When there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood (9)_______ 9/ tall/ up
And did it my way

To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a (12)_________way, 12/sad/ shy

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he was (13)______13/nothing/ naught
To say the things he truly (14)________ 14/feels/ knows
And not the words of one who kneels,
The record shows I took the (15)______ /blows/ time
And did it my way
Yes, I was my way.
