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
