Elvis Presley - My Way (live, June 21, 1977)

...so true...

Elvis Presley - My way
(Paul Anka / Jaques Revaux / Gilles Thibault)
lyrics:
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've traveled each and every highway
oh, 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.
Oh, 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.
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, no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself then he has not
to say the words he truly feels
and not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows
and did it my way!
The record shows I took the blows
and did it my way!

Thank you!!!!!!! so much for your wonderful comment, my dear friend!

Yes....somehow it is a mystery......or not. No matter how sick he was....he still could sing great and much better than others!!! Nobody will ever reach his high class, NEVER!!!! Somehow he was not only singing his songs.....he was giving them LIFE!!! Feeling them in every note!!!

Thanks a lot for your words.....it makes it all worth it!!!

You should change the video title. This is from his Aloha concert in January 1973.

[whynotbig]

@PokeWizKev826 huh?

[PokeWizKev826]

@whynotbig Paul Anka wrote the song, and Sinatra popularized it first before Presley.

[whynotbig]

i forgot he is the one to invent this song not sinatra

[all4musica]

The Essence of the lyrics...to me...is that we have to remain True to ourselves...our souls not for sale~

Beautiful rendition by Elvis!

[williamsterrry1]

unfortunatley ....like micheal jackson and many others. doctors ( who are there to save lives) sucumbe to that old thing called money. these amazing artists have so much pressure put on them they end up mentally unstable. they then rely on the doctors to sort them out .....but they only get doctors( who will go against their better judgement).. for money! SHAME ON THOSE DOCTORS!
