My life's song //


Anyone that knows me well knows that I have this crazy love for Frank Sinatra; his voice is absolute perfection and resonates with my soul <3 I have always said that whenever I got married, I wanted strictly Frank Sinatra music playing at the reception. 

Well, this morning I started playing a Frankie record that I bought yesterday and the first song to play was "My Way". I love that song so much! Ah! But today, as I sat there listening, I realized that it's the song about my life. It perfectly describes me and the way I want to live my life. I never want to reach my final hour with regret. Ever. That must be such an awful feeling. That is why I always say that I don't have regrets (except maybe one or two) and instead, I like to look at my mistakes as learning experiences. I want to live my life the way I want to. I want to make my own mistakes and when I do, I want to learn from them and become a better person. 

Funny that I've heard this song a million and one times and it just now hit me.

Here are the lyrics... the words that are literally the meaning of my life. 

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 traveled each and ev'ry 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 , I saw it through without exemption 
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the highway 
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 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 what is a man, what has he got? 
If not himself, then he has naught 
The right to say the things he feels and not the words of one who kneels 
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
