My Way

If I had my life to live over again
I'd live it in shades of grey
Black & white is too safe
Look in the shadows
for what the light hides
Drown in the moment
not stay afloat for tomorrow 
Throw away the umbrella 
to dance in the rain 
Gamble my heart
even with a poor hand 
And it would be true
when I sang 
like an off-key Sinatra 
that
I 
did 
it 
my 
way
