Fifty years ago
A kid stood on the stage
Trying to hold his nerve
′Til the moment that 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
If I gave you a lifetime
Well, 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 "Movin′"
So many memories
Of places that I've seen
Timeless melodies
It all seems like a dream, it′s magic
For every song
I've ever sung
I want to 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
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
