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 travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way with you

There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
(who's that lounging in)
Something's wrong with our eyes
Yeah mama, this surely is a dream

How fickle my heart
And how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
Yeah mama, this surely is a dream

And now my heart stumbles
On things I don't know
(do you have to let it linger)
My weakness I feel
I must finally show (alright, alright)
Yeah mama, this surely is a dream
Take it
Yeah mama, this surely is a dream
Yeah

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 chartered course
Each careful step along the by way
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

There's something wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
(who's that lounging in)
Something's wrong with our eyes
Yeah mama, this surely is a dream

How fickle my heart
And how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
Yeah mama, this surely is a dream

And now my heart stumbles
On things I don't know
(do you have to let it linger)
Und nicht so naß und so sibirisch
Wie im letzten Jahr

How fickle my heart
And how woozy my eyes
Take it
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
(do you have to let it linger)

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

And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, it was my way
