He was the guy at the party that everyone always seemed the happiest to see.
"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.
Oh no, not me.
I did it my way."
Frank Sinatra
