Title: Tom did it his way....
Post by: Richard_From_CHI on August 21, 2007, 12:28:47 AM
And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friends, 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 travelled each and every 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.
But 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.

I would like to sing a Bacharach medley for Tom, starting with "I Say a Little Prayer."

Even if pre-morteum he did do it his was in the past, no?

And yes this is a super-duper low content thread. This is the twinkie of threads.

I'm listening to Miles Davis's Inamorata to ramp up my courage for tonight's show. THAT'S how Tom does it.

Maybe all you doom-and-gloomers should revisit that quite recent AST podcast where one thing that Tom emphasizes is just how much doing the show means to him.
