Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, I may have imagined singing back then,
but you know,
when I actually got into the music business,
it wasn't as a singer at all.
It was as an accompanist.
I started out playing for auditions,
and from where I sat, I learned a lot,
because only one out of 100 ever got the job
they were auditioning for.
Really, one out of 100.
But that didn't stop the rest.
No, sir.
I learned more from failure than I learned from success.
I learned from no thank you so much more than from yes.
I learned to be willing to lead with my chin,
and if I were willing to lose,
I could win.
I learned from the losers who got right back in line.
The dimmer their future,
then the brighter
they'd shine.
Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred.
But God
bless
the other 99.
Those courageous people changed my life.
They taught me that you can give in,
you can give
out, but you don't give up.
I learned more from failure than I learned from success.
I learned from no thank you
so much more than from yes.
I learned to be willing to lead with my chin,
and if I were
willing to lose, I could win.
Everything's coming up roses.
Thank you.
Everything's coming up roses.
Thank you.
Everything's coming up roses for me and for you.
Thank you.
Next.
I learned from the losers who got right back in line.
The dimmer their future,
then the brighter they'd shine.
Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred.
But God bless.
God bless.
All of us up here on this stage tonight are here because
of the courage that we learned from the other 99.
We'll be forever grateful.
Right, Billy?
Right.
I learned more from failure than I learned from success.
How about you, Vanessa?
I learned from no thank you so much more than from yes.
And you, Deborah?
I learned to be willing to lead with my chin,
and if we were willing to lose, we could win.
We learned from the losers who got right back in line.
The dimmer their future,
then the brighter they'd shine.
Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred.
But God bless.
Up front, we were always meant to be.
God bless.
There for all the world to see.
God bless.
Thank you.
No,
thank you.
Thank you.
