it's strictly business














wats good for business is good for america

[speaking to himself, practicing his speech] Luca Brasi: Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your home on the wedding day of your daughter. And may their first child be a masculine child. [then, starting over]
[delivering his rehearsed speech] Luca Brasi: Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter... 's wedding... on the day of your daughter's wedding. And I hope their first child be a masculine child. I pledge my ever-ending loyalty.
[after Michael gets off the phone with Kay, clearly too embarrassed to tell her I love you too] Clemenza: Mikey, why don't you tell that nice girl you love her? I love you with all-a my heart, if I don't see-a you again soon, I'm-a gonna die...
Sonny: Goddamn FBI don't respect nothin'.
Calo: In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns.
Sonny: Hey, listen, I want somebody good - and I mean very good - to plant that gun. I don't want my brother coming out of that toilet with just his dick in his hands, alright? Clemenza: The gun'll be there.
Michael: My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator. Kay Adams: Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed. Michael: Oh. Who's being naive, Kay?
Jack Woltz: Johnny Fontane never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him, it'll make him a big star, and I'm gonna run him out of the business - and let me tell you why: Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz International's most valuable proteges. For five years we had her under training - singing lessons, acting lessons, dancing lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her, I was gonna make her a big star. And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, and that it's not all dollars and cents: She was beautiful; she was young; she was innocent. She was the greatest piece of ass I've ever had, and I've had 'em all over the world. And then Johnny Fontane comes along with his olive oil voice and guinea charm, and she runs off. She threw it all away just to make me look ridiculous! And a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous!
Jack Woltz: Now you listen to me, you smooth talking son-of-a-bitch. Let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is. Johnny Fontane will never get that movie. I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork.
[first lines] Bonasera: I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies with him; she stayed out late. I didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the hospital, her nose was a'broken. Her jaw was a'shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain. But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful again. I went to the police, like a good American. These two boys were brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison - suspended sentence. Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool. And those two bastards, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, for justice, we must go to Don Corleone.
Michael: That's my family, Kay. It's not me.
Kay Adams: Michael, you never told me your family knew Johnny Fontane! Michael: Oh sure, you want to meet him? Kay Adams: Yeah! Michael: You know, my father helped Johnny in his career. Kay Adams: Really? How? Michael: ...Let's listen to this song. Kay Adams: [after listening to Johnny for a while] Please, Michael. Tell me. Michael: ...Well when Johnny was first starting out, he was signed to this contract with a big-band leader. And as his career got better and better he wanted to get out of it. Now, Johnny is my father's godson. My father went to see the bandleader, with a contract for $10,000 to let Johnny go, but the bandleader said no. So the next day, my father went to see the bandleader again, only this time with Luca Brasi. Within an hour, the bandleader signed the release, with a certified check of $1000. Kay Adams: How did he do that? Michael: My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Kay Adams: What was it? Michael: Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured the bandleader, that either his signiture or his brains would be on the contract. Kay Adams: ... Michael: ...That's a true story. [cut to Johnny singing again for about 10 more seconds before going back to Michael] Michael: That's my family Kay, it's not me.
Tom Hagen: [after finding out Tessio sold Michael out] Tessio. I always thought it would be Clemenza. Michael: It's the smart move. Tessio was always smarter.
Tessio: [realizing that Michael knows he was the traitor] Tom. Can you get me off the hook? You know, for old times sake? Tom Hagen: [shakes his head] Can't do it, Sally.
Don Corleone: Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
Michael: My credit good enough to buy you out? Moe Greene: Buy me out? [Fredo laughs nervously] Michael: The casino, the hotel. The Corleone Family wants to buy you out. Moe Greene: The Corleone Family wants to buy me out? No, I buy you out, you don't buy me out. Michael: Your casino loses money, maybe we can do better. Moe Greene: You think I'm skimmin' off the top, Mike? Michael: You're unlucky. Moe Greene: You goddamn guineas really make me laugh. I do you a favor and take Freddie in when you're having a bad time, and then you try to push me out! Michael: Wait a minute, you took Freddie in because the Corleone Family bankrolled your casino, because the Molinari Family on the Coast guaranteed his safety. Now we're talking business, let's talk business. Moe Greene: Yeah, let's talk business, Mike. First of all, you're all done. The Corleone Family don't even have that kind of muscle anymore. The Godfather's sick, right? You're getting chased out of New York by Barzini and the other Families. What do you think is going on here? You think you can come to my hotel and take over? I talked to Barzini, I can make a deal with him, and still keep my hotel! Michael: Is that why you slapped my brother around in public? Fredo: Aw now that, that was nothin', Mike. Now, Now uh Moe didn't mean nothin' by that. Sure he flies off the handle once in a while, but Moe and me, we're good friends, right Moe? Huh? Moe Greene: I gotta business to run. I gotta kick asses sometimes to make it run right. We had a little argument, Freddy and I, so I had to straighten him out. Michael: You straightened my brother out? Moe Greene: He was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time!Players couldn't get a drink at the table! What's wrong with you? Michael: I leave for New York tomorrow, think about a price. Moe Greene: Sonofabitch, Do you know who I am? I'm Moe Greene! I made my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders! Fredo: Wait a minute, Moe, Moe, I got an idea. Tom, you're the Consiglieri and you can talk to the Don, you can explain... Tom Hagen: Just a minute now, the Don is semi-retired and Mike is in charge of the Family business now. If you have anything to say, say it to Michael. Fredo: [Moe Greene leaves] Mike! You don't come to Las Vegas and talk to a man like Moe Greene like that! Michael: Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever.
Tom Hagen: Now we have the unions, we have the gambling; and they're the best things to have. But narcotics is a thing of the future. And if we don't get a piece of that action, we risk everything we have. I mean not now, but, ah, ten years from now.
[Tessio brings in Luca Brasi's bulletproof vest, delivered with a fish inside] Sonny: What the hell is this? Clemenza: It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.
Capt. McCluskey: I thought I got all you Guinea hoods locked up, what the hell are you doing at this hospital! Michael: What happened to the men who were guarding my father? Capt. McCluskey: I pulled them guys off of here, eh, now get away from this hospital! Michael: I'm not leaving until you put some men around my father. Capt. McCluskey: Phil, take him in! Cop with Capt. McCluskey outside hospital: The kid's clean Captain, he's a war hero! Capt. McCluskey: God Damn it Phil, I said take him in! Michael: What's the Turk paying you to set up my father? Capt. McCluskey: [to Patrolmen] Take a hold of him, stand him up real straight. [punches Michael and breaks his jaw]
Michael: [while eating diner with Sollozzo and McCluskey] What I want - what's most important to me - is that I have a guarantee: No more attempts on my father's life. Sollozzo: What guarantees could I give you, Mike? I am the hunted one! I missed my chance. You think too much of me, kid - I'm not that clever. All I want, is a truce.
Fredo: [after Moe Greene storms out after an argument] Mike, you don't come to Las Vegas and talk to a man like Moe Greene like that! Michael: Fredo - you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever.
Emilio Barzini: [during a meeting with the Five Families] Times have changed. It's not like the Old Days, when we can do anything we want. A refusal is not the act of a friend. If Don Corleone had all the judges, and the politicians in New York, then he must share them, or let us others use them. He must let us draw the water from the well. Certainly he can present a bill for such services; after all... we are not Communists.
Tessio: Can you get me off the hook, Tom? For old times' sake? Tom Hagen: Can't do it, Sally.
Don Corleone: Tattaglia's a pimp. He never could've out-fought Santino. But I didn't know until this day that it was Barzini all along.
Don Corleone: I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can be careless. But not men.
Tom Hagen: You know how they're going to come at you? Michael: They want to arrange a meeting between me and Barzini. On Tessio's ground. Where I'll be safe.
Don Corleone: You talk about vengeance. Is vengeance going to bring your son back to you? Or my boy to me?
Don Corleone: I never thought you were a bad consiglieri, Tom. I thought Santino was a bad don, rest in peace.
Don Corleone: What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.
[Johnny Fontaine is discussing his problems with Woltz] Johnny Fontane: Oh, Godfather, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. Don Corleone: [shouts] You can act like a man! [he slaps Johnny] Don Corleone: What's the matter with you. Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood fannuchio that cries like a woman. [Don Corleone imitates him sobbing] Don Corleone: What can I do? [camera pans to Tom who is laughing] Don Corleone: What can I do? What is that nonsense. Ridiculous.
Don Corleone: I like to drink wine more than I used to. Michael: It's good for ya, Pop. Don Corleone: Anyway I'm drinkin' more.
Tom Hagen: Mr. Corleone never asks a second favor once he's refused the first, understood?
[after being asked how he will arrange to buy a hotel from Moe Greene] Michael: I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.
Don Corleone: I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.
[speaking with the father of the girl he plans to marry, and after telling him that he's in hiding from some gangsters] Michael: Some people will pay a lot of money for that information; but then your daughter would lose a father, instead of gaining a husband.
Sonny: Hey, whataya gonna do, nice college boy, eh? Didn't want to get mixed up in the Family business, huh? Now you wanna gun down a police captain. Why? Because he slapped ya in the face a little bit? Hah? What do you think this is the Army, where you shoot 'em a mile away? You've gotta get up close like this and bada-bing. you blow their brains all over your nice Ivy League suit. C'mere... [kisses Michael's head] Michael: Sonny... Sonny: You're taking this very personal. Tom, this is business and this man is taking it very personal.
Michael: It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business.
Sollozzo: I don't like violence, Tom. I'm a businessman; blood is a big expense.
Michael: My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Kay Adams: What was that? Michael: Luca Brasi, held a gun to his head, and my father assured him, that either his brain or his signature would be on the contract.
Michael: Ah, get me Long Beach 4-5620. please
Don Corleone: Someday - and that day may never come - I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as gift on my daughter's wedding day.
Sonny: We don't discuss business at the table.
Don Corleone: I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life - I don't apologize - to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize - that's my life - but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone. Well, it wasn't enough time, Michael. It wasn't enough time. Michael: We'll get there, pop. We'll get there.
[after Sonny beats up Carlo Rizzi for hitting Connie] Sonny: You touch my sister again, I'll kill you.
Don Corleone: You could act like a man. [slaps Johnny Fontane] Don Corleone: What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, some Hollywood finnochio that cries like a woman? [mockingly imitates Johnny] Don Corleone: Oh, Godfather, what am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?
Don Corleone: I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall Michael - if he is to be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in a jail cell... or if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room; and then I do not forgive. But with said, I pledge - on the souls of my grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today.
Kay Adams: Michael, is it true? Did you have Carlo murdered? Michael: Don't ask me about my business, Kay.
[to his associate, who has killed Paulie in the car] Clemenza: Leave the gun. [pause] Clemenza: Take the cannolis.
Clemenza: You know any goodest spots on the west side? Paulie Gatto: Yeah, I think about it. Clemenza: Well think about it while you're driving, I wanna hit New York sometime this month.
Capt. McCluskey: Is the Italian food good here? Sollozzo: Yeah, try the veal. It's the best in the city.
Don Zaluchi: I, too, don't believe in drugs. For years I paid my people extra to stay away from that sort of stuff, but someone comes along saying, I've got powders where if you put up a three to four thousand dollar investment, you can make fifty thousand distributing, then there is no way to resist it. I want to keep it respectable. [shouts] Don Zaluchi: I don't want it near schools. I don't want it sold to children! In my city, we'd keep the traffic in the Dark People, the Coloreds - they're animals anyway, so let them lose their souls.
Clemenza: All right, you just shot 'em both. Now what do you do? Michael: Sit down and finish my dinner.
Sonny: How's Paulie? Clemenza: Oh, Paulie... won't see him no more.
Connie: Dinner's on the table. Carlo Rizzi: I'm not hungry yet. Connie: Your food is on the table. It's getting cold. Carlo Rizzi: I'll eat out later. Connie: You just told me to make you dinner! Carlo Rizzi: Hey, vaffanculo, eh? Connie: I'll vaffanculo you!
Don Corleone: [seeing Sonny in the mortuary] Look how they massacred my boy.
Don Corleone: Never let anyone outside the family know what you're thinking.
Tom Hagen: Mr. Woltz, I'm a lawyer, I have not threatened you. Jack Woltz: I know almost every big lawyer in New York, who the hell are you? Tom Hagen: I have a special practice. I handle one client. Now you have my number. I'll wait for your call. By the way, I admire your pictures very much.
Don Corleone: Bonasera... Bonasera.
Capt. McCluskey: [talking with Solozzo in the restaurant after Michael goes to the bathroom] I frisked him, he's clean [pause] Capt. McCluskey: I frisked a thousand young punks.

i am OK, u are not OK

"Happy childhood" notwithstanding, most of us are living out the NOT OK feelings of a defenseless CHILD wholly dependent on OK others for stroking and care.

By the third year of life, says Dr. Harris, most of us have made the unconscious decision I'M NOT OK-YOU'RE OK.

This negative Life Position, shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike, contaminates our rational ADULT potential -- leaving us vulnerable to the inappropriate, emotional reactions of our CHILD and the uncritically learned behavior programmed into our PARENT.

In personal Transactions, NOT OK people resort to harmful withdrawal, rituals, activities, pastimes, and games for getting needed strokes while avoiding painful intimacy with people they see as OK.

Dr. Thomas A. Harris's pioneering work in Transactional Analysis has had a fundamental impact on our understanding of interpersonal behavior. In showing us how to make the conscious decision I'M OK-YOU'RE OK, he has helped millions of despairing people find the freedom to change, to liberate their ADULT effectiveness, and to achieve joyful intimacy with the people in their lives.

Life is for Living




















Jonathan Livingston seagull was no ordinary bird. He defied all obstacles to reach his dream of flying to great heights and speeds. He did not let the negative remarks of the other gulls, or his repeaded failures stop him from reaching these goals.

"How much more there is now to living," says Jonathan. "We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can be free! We can learn to fly!"

"Who is more responsible than a gull who finds and follows a meaning, a higher purpose for life? . . . but now we have a reason to live - to learn, to discover, to be free!"


"You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn't flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesn't have limits."


Chiang spoke slowly and watched the younger gull ever so carefully. "To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is," he said, " you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived . . ."

Everything u need to know about life,


Everything I need to know about life,

I learned from Noah's Ark

One: Don't miss the boat.

Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six: Build your future on high ground.

Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.

Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Eleven : No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...

- a sweet angel called ..... told me dis

Dont be silly

it aint minnie or keshi

i hate butter flies, they flirt from flower to flower

weddings are gay





Alright we all know that weddings are gay - happy :) But that's not exactly what I mean here. Last week, there was a wedding held in Sydney...but there was no bride with a long white dress, 'cos it was between two prominent men. It was aired on TV and radio for the first time and alot of publicity was given to it, amidst rejection and protesting from some anti-gay groups and many viewers. Those who oppposed to this wedding believed that marriage should only be between a man and a woman as per tradition, and that that's how children are supposed to come into this world. They also stated that marriage should not be marketed as a same sex union and that this should not be exposed to younger generation in a way that the tradition is affected. The gay and lesbian rights' supporters stated that Marriage should be allowed for any 2 people who love and care for each other irrespective of their sex. What they said was that after all, marriage means loving and caring for one another and it should not matter whether it's between 2 men, 2 women or a man and a woman. They also stated that children are and can be well-brought up by gay and lesbians and it's not an issue to even consider.While all this was being argued on TV, I was wondering how I used to think about homosexuality before - I'll be honoest, I used to think it's wrong and against human nature - but not anymore. Because I'm more matured now and I have learnt to accept people for who they are, not for how they choose to love and live. While I'm as straight as Chinese hair lol, I respect another's sexual preference be it gay or bi or whatever. It's purely personal and I have no right to judge anyone on that. Honestly if 2 people love and care for each other unconditionally, then that's what a true union is all about, whether they have a wedding or not. Besides, some people don't even find true love in their whole life, so if they do find Love even in an unconventional way, why not just let them be? It's their life, not your's so you don't have a say in it. I know that certain religions don't approve of gay marriages, but it's almost like being vegetarian or not - it's really your choice, isn't it. About children being raised by same-sex parents, I have no idea what it would be to grow up like that so I don't think I can speak for someone else. Maybe it's good, maybe it's bad or maybe it's even better than having a woman and a man shouting at each other all their life while the children suffer. What matter for children's wellbeing are rational parents not just a mother and a father. And there are many single parents who raise children alone, so why not have 2 dads or 2 mums :) What really matters is whether true Love exists...whether the trust and faith in each other exist...whether together they can raise good kids. It should not bother me how the other person chooses to live as long as it does not harm me or anyone else. What do you think about gay marriages? I also ask you another question - What would you say/do if your loved-one (be it brother, sister, daugher, son, best-friend or anyone at all) came upto you and told you they were homosexual? Be honest with your answers please, thanks :)

Take My Hand, Precious Lord

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone

Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light

Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near

When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call

Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone

At the river I stand Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone

Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light

Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home.




Talk About the Good Times
Well I remember when I was as children

The time the people used to treat the neighbor like a fellow man

And all their singin' and big prayer meetin's
When a man was proud to walk up and shake his neighbors hand

Oh you talk about the good times, Talk about the good times
Oh if you ever needed help a friend was there

Some good neighbor
Help lift your burden

Mmm, and the simple joys of life a friend would share
Times are harder and the people are changin'


Now most folks couldn't tell you who their neighbors are
All their guns are loaded, the front doors are bolted

Ain't this ol' world takin' hate and fear just a little too far

Oh you talk about the good times, Talk about the good times

I wish I could go back to the days I'm speakin of
When a friend would meet you

And a smile would greet you
What this ol' world needs now is a little old fashioned love

My granddaddy
God rest his soul now

Well we had a big long talk together the day he died
Said son this world is full of hate and venom

An' I can't wait to leave this ol' place and rest on the other side
Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times

Talk about the good times I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days
We'll have a big hand shakin'

An' sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times

I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days
We'll have a big hand shakin'

An' sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away

Oh you talk about the good times, talk about the good times
Talk about the good times

I'm gonna see all the friends I knew in the good ol' days
We'll have a big hand shakin'

An' sit and talk together
Sit down by the river Jordan and sing our blues away.

i lost my religion

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you

And you are not me

The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes

Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'mLosing my religion

Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisperOf every waking hour I'm

Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too muchI set it up

Consider this
Consider this

The hint of the century
Consider this

The slip that brought me
To my knees failed

What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around

Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?

That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream


i surrendered my member sheep to the catlik church
i wont be led up the rong path

Jesus was anti-religion
He was born a Jew

the christains formed more religions
they lost sight of 'Love of God and neighbour'

the central tenet in all religions


our parish is raising 20 lakhs or more
to build a church
for the greater glory of God

they had a sizable amount raised which cud have gone to Tsunami survivors
but they want a church

the muslims say Namaz on the streets
they dont need fans

and shelter from the heat

mushy tots from a crazy old man
















Within your eyes, you move me,
the world stands still,
I can see your passion.

Within your eyes, I can feel your loving touch,
a touch I crave so much!

Within your eyes, the ocean's spread apart,
the mountains don't seem so high.

Within your eyes, the stars are burning bright
and the full moon covers us tonight.

Within your eyes, I can see us dancing,
arm in arm,
cheek to cheek.

Within your eyes,
I see us!

dining at the Taj Mumbai ...





... wid your fingers in beachwear and chappals and at 1/10 th the cost

Drive down to the taj in a BEST bus
walk down to the front

click a foto of u and your girl
by the roadside fotographer


Then walk down the lane to The Bagade Resturant

if u want a drink
walk across to the restaurant opposite

just gulp the beer
dont order eats

then go back to The Bagade
and eat to your hearts content

Beef Biryani is good at Rs 25/-
If u want Chicken its better

huge chunks of chicken legs
while u oggle at the hippie breasts of the hippie girl opposite

it just costs u Rs 55/-
u dont have to tip
if u dont want to

Just grab a few tooth picks
and pick your teeeth
standing in front of the Taj

click another pic
to send to your poor cousin at Anand mohalla, Lucknow district, UP

the song u must sing for me


















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!

THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL
