Shirley Bassey MY WAY video

Live performance from 1987 in honour of 750 years Berlin. Part 9. http://shirleybassey.wordpress.com/ About the dress Dame Shirley is wearing for this performance (from Ian): This gown was designed by Sara Perceval around 1983, Sara did all of the lace chiffon gowns for DSB in the 90's. We call it the Cockeral Gown for obvious reasons. The gown was worn at Blazers in London in 1984, on British tv in 1987 and in Berlin in 1987 and several other occasions in the late 80's. It was sadly destroyed in a fire in the early 90's! Lyrics 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 Im certain. I've lived a life thats 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 woman, what has she got? If not herself, then she has naught. To say the things she truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way! (P. Anka, J. Revaux, G. Thibault, C. Frankois)
