Encore, Encore!

(Opens the show)

All my life I've been responsible
Dreams I had were then impossible
I'm older, wiser now
It's time to take a bow
All these years I've paid my dues
But you won't hear me singin' the blues
Time to grab those dancin' shoes
And get ready for

Encore/ You know it's never too late
Encore/ Come on, let's celebrate
Encore/ We'll see what we can do
Encore/ To make our dreams come true
Each one has a part to play
A new road to explore
And starting now we’re on our way
Encore, Encore!

Now and then I screwed things up a bit
But I have to say I learned from it
Can't change it anyhow
But I can be here now
Gray hair may be what you see
But I've been learning I can be
More beautiful inside of me
Than ever before

Encore/ There’s always lessons to learn
Encore/ New choices every turn
Encore/ Whatever I want to be
Encore/ I know it's up to me
Now that I have reached this stage
A voice I can’t ignore
Says life's for livin' at any age
Encore, Encore!
