I recently met the lady that I'm going to introduce to you right now and I am so impressed with her as a songwriter, a vocalist, and as just an American original. And she happens to be a Texas native born right here in Austin, born and brought up here in Austin. And her singular talents, which are very American, have brought her fame all across our country and around the world. So I would like to introduce to you Nancy Griffith. And I love you so People ask me how How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know I guess they understand How lonely life has been Life began again The day you took my hand Yes, I know How lonely life can be The shadows follow me And the night won't set me free I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You've set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The book of life is brief Once a page is read All but love is dead This is my belief Yes, I know How loveless life can be The shadows follow me And the night won't set me free I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And I love you so The people ask me how How I've lived till now I tell them I don't know All right, we're on. That was the best we ever did it. Did you hear that, Dad?
