Song: O Sole Mio/It's Now Or Never
Artist: Elvis Presley
Album: Elvis In Concert
"My Way" is a popular song adapted to English by Paul Anka in 1969, based on the 1967 French song "Comme d'habitude", with music written by Claude François and Jacques Revaux, for the French lyrics by Claude François and Gilles Thibaut.
The English version only retains the melody of the song, as the lyrics were rewritten by Paul Anka and are totally different from the original French.
The Song.
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
