Song | Frank Sinatra | My way | Mixed Tenses

And now, the end (be) 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 (live) a life that’s full.
I (travel) each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I (do) it my way.

Regrets, I (have) a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I (have) to do
And (see) it through without exemption.

I (plan) each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I (do) it my way.

Yes, there (be) times, I’m sure you knew
When I (bite) off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there (be) doubt,
I (eat) it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I (stand) tall;
And did it my way.

I (love) , I (laugh) and cried.
I (have) my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I (find) it all so amusing.

To think I (do) all that;
And may I say – not in a shy way,
“Oh no, oh no not me,
I (do) it my way”.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he (have) not
to say the things he truly (feel);
And not the words of one who (kneel).
The record (show) I took the blows –
And (do) it my way!

Yes, it (be) my way.
