...........................And Did It Our Way

...........................And Did It “Our” Way And who is anyone Without regret Nothing went wrong Our ego said So we are Beyond reproach So imperfectly perfect And with nothing to forget We’re never wrong We just went along With our ego And so The mistakes we made If not our own Then how do we evade The sadness that we feel Behind all the dreams That seemed so real And in all our time And in all our schemes And all the chances We simply gave away And all the loves We wasted for another day What can we say We did it our way………………….. And who is anyone Without regret What lessons have we learnt In the years we have spent For everyone learns Through their ignorance And everyone is born In their innocence “And through it all” Our memories are clear With all the things we did And hide in fear All the wrong turns That we made And all moments In which we were saved If we can say We did it our way We did our best And yes We even lived With our Regrets ( With full acknowledgment To Gilles Thibault; Paul Anka and Frank Sinatra ) ( first draft.... to be edited )
