No Control
11.45 PM
I knew from the start that she would never succeed...
the first day I came, walking down the old streets
unwilling faces still staring at me - what an odd sight!
she climbed up the stairs, trying to hide her sad face
I felt obliged to help her and the clock strikes the quarter
her answer was:
'Yes! I'll try once more, imagine those who stand alone
I hurry up in order to catch their defeat
since I got no replay, why don't you come in ?'
she complained without a course and I took a glance at the headlines
her hands
My Way
(words & music by Anka - Francois - Revaux)
And now the end is near
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 exception
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 know
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 fails, 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 he would reveal
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
