NUMBER:54203
QUOTATION:And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain,
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.
ATTRIBUTION:Frank Sinatra (b. 1915), U.S. singer, actor. My Way, written by Claude François, Jacques Revaux, and Paul Anka (1969).

The Canadian songwriter Paul Anka is generally credited with adapting this song—from a French original, Comme D’Habitude—for Sinatra, with whom it has become indelibly linked.
