OPENER
- MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Sides face grand square
And now the end is near, and so I face the final
curtain
My friend I say it clear, I state my case for which I'm certain AL and Weave
I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each
and ev'ry highway Swng &
Promenade
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 , I saw it through without exemption AL and Weave
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the highway Swng & Promenade
And more, much more than this, I 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, Swng &
Promenade
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"
FIGURE Head couples square thru 4 hands you know,
You make a right hand star and roll it go, Heads star left in the middle, full
around you go,
With the same pair do a right and left thru now, Roll
away and then, turn thru my friend, Left allemande and promenade the by way
And more, much more than this, I did it my
way
Oh no, oh no
not me, I did it 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 ev'ry 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 , I saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the highway
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
And 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 naught
The right to say the things he feels and not the words
of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
