From the recording The Music Lives On - 2016 Album Release
Lyrics
Nothing lasts forever, all good things must end
The good times and the heartache, on all the sun will set
It’s been a lifelong journey, to find where I belong
Now with mixed emotions, I’m playing - my last song
The curtain call is coming, here’s my final bow
If I did an encore, would you listen anyhow?
And when my song is over, the stage will fade from view
But life goes on forever, the house lights - they burn for you
But I’ll be in your heart
Through the music that touched me
I’ll be etched in your mind
When the crowd has gone
When you hear the songs
You will be reminded
The show is over now
But the music lives on
When my story’s written, I hope the words are kind
Remembering the good times, and the treasures left behind
I’m not proud of everything, I have my regrets
I’m happy for the good I did, and sorry - for the rest
But I’ll be in your heart
Through the music that touched me
I’ll be etched in your mind
When the crowd has gone
When you hear the songs
You will be reminded
The show is over now
But the music lives on
Raise a glass to the memories
Raise a glass tonight
Let me hear you call my name once more
Before we say good-bye
A toast to the music
A toast to the words
And here’s to the band playing
Like we’ve never heard
Now I look upon the faces, as you watch my final act
I hope I’ve entertained you, and I hope I’ve made you laugh
So thank you for the memories, and the time we’ve had to spend
Keep the faith within your heart, our love – It will never end
