My Way 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
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
But 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
Oh 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, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For was this the plan what have I got
If not myself then I have not
To say the things you truly feel
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

My way
I did it my way
My way..

I have no words to say how much that touches my heart...this is amazing!a truly amazing!thank you Patii!I adore you!

From her new 2011 cd "Sound Advice". I'm guessing Patti is a rare exception to the "if you're over 35 we don't want you at major label" syndrome. Though this is on a boutique label, She was well over 35 when Warners Bros. released her "On The Way To Love" cd. Her talent is recognized by the best in the biz, so she's always surrounded with great accompaniment. Finally, I LIKE "MY WAY". lol

[Keedeeg]

Beautifully Done, Patti!!! So heart-tugging.

[ClayCarlos]

I love Patti Austin, but I did not dig anything about this song. It was way too monotone, and it did not go anywhere. It was definitely introspective and reflective from the singers point of view, but it did not draw *me* (as a listener) in. However, she looks great in the picture. Clay

Ah... the song is now listed, along with two more. But the release date has been pushed to May, grrr

[4thpip]

Hmm... Amazon has a listing for the upcoming album that does not include this song. What is up with that??

[johnboyjwg]

She certainly did this song her way. Good Lord!

'Tis unique and eerie-like (an Eva Cassidy 'autumn leaves' flavor to it).

I appreciate the emotion put forth with the lyrics. ...made me tingly, breathe hard, heart pound, and gasp. Much like an orgasm. I think I like it.

Thanks for inviting me to listen to it.

I plan is to meet this lovely talented woman some day. I have enjoyed her singing for decades now.

only patti austin can do it... taking a classic and making it hers. How rare a talent. What a beautiful rendition. It doesn't matter she is under appreciated or recognised by pop culture as for those who loves her truly stays with her for decades and years. The world is a much better place because of Ms Austin. Thank you again!

Thank you, Patti! It's such a beautiful rendition and your performance in Beirut (on YouTube) was deeply moving. Your fans truly do appreciate the artistry and the heart! Looking forward to getting some Sound Advice in January!
