Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra
Born: Dec. 12, 1915, in Hoboken, N.J.
Full name: Francis Albert Sinatra.
Died: May 14, 1998, at 10:50 p.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center; died of heart attack.

Once the idol of swooning female fans, he continued to sing in his own inimitable style through the eras of the big bands, rock and roll and hard rock, never compromising his reputation as `The Voice'.

On the way he became a legend, for his Grammy-winning music, Oscar-winning acting and a larger-than-life personality. He boasted friendships with presidents and less savory types and even the cocky angle of his hat drew favorable notice.

His unique tenor voice made songs as `My Way,' `New York, New York,', `Witchcraft', and 'The Lady is a Tramp' memorable hits to generations.

Until now, Frank still the raising star. His songs are legend. And My way is one of his songs that i like most.

My Way

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’ve 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,
But 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,
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!
