And now,
And so I face
My friend,
I'll state my case,
I've lived a life that's full
And more, much more than this,
Regrets,
But then again,
I did what I had to do
I planned each charted course
And more, much more than this
Yes, there were times
When I bit off
But through it all
I ate it up and
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it
I've loved,
I've had my fill,
And now, as tears subside
To think I did all that
Oh, no, oh, no, not me
For what is a man
If not himself
To say the things he truly feels and
The record shows
And did it my way!
