"You may not agree with some tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions."
Mr Bush acknowledged some of his actions after September 11 had been controversial but he has stated that by saying this is 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 travelled each and ev'ry highway But 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!
