Lyrics Appreciation - My Way by Robbie Williams (original by Frank Sinatra)
Kids,

I was YouTubing this lovely CNY and came across one of the best songs ever composed. Incidentally, this is a song my dad loves to sing.

When I was young, I have always wondered why. I was only enlightened when I was able to appreciate the lyrics.

Below are the lyrics and I have chosen the Robin Williams video instead of the original singer's. I hope you guys can connect to it. The lyrics will really teach you a lot about life.

Happy CNY!

My Way by Robbie Williams



And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
And state my case, of which Im certain.

I've lived a life thats 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,
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.
And 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 share, my fill 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.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
And through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
Let the record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
