Thank You for a Lifetime

50 years ago a kid stood on the stage Trying to hold his nerve 'til the moment he heard the music I can see him now, it's so hard to believe So many things have changed but one thing stays the same, the music And I've been blessed to live this life I gave my best and now it's time to say Thank you for sharing the story, thank you for being there for me Even though time doesn't wait it brought you here tonight I gave you a lifetime but you gave me the time of my life Back in '58 I started on this road It seems like yesterday when the band started playing 'Move It' So many memories, places that I've seen, timeless melodies It all seems like a dream, it's magic For every song I've ever sung I wanna say to everyone Thank you for sharing the story, thank you for being there for me I'm up here and you're out there, to me it feels just right I gave you a lifetime and you gave me the time of my life Thank you for sharing the story, thank you for being there for me Thank you for the songs you sing with me Thank you for the love that you gave me Even if the curtain falls the final time tonight All I gave you was a lifetime but you gave me the time of my life Thank you
