Peter Michael McHugh - Rest in Peace

July 19, 1948 -
June 15, 2008

And now, the end is here
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 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
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 what is a man, what
has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he
truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the
blows and did it my way!

Yes, it was my way



- Frank Sinatra - My Way
