I Did It All Lyrics

There's a new face
Up on the stage tonight
A new star on the door
A new name on the billboard now
Where mine had been before

There's a new song in their hearts tonight
A new light in their eyes
A new and haunting melody
That's got them hypnotized

I know time and tide keep marching on
Here today and then you're gone

I did it all from The Honky Tonk
To Carnegie Hall
From Tokyo to Texas came the call
And every mile's a memory
That's burned into my soul
So, no matter what tomorrow brings
No matter what song the new star sings
I never will forget I did it all

I got to ride a million dreams
The star of, oh, so many scenes
I played the game and made my name
I thought it couldn't end

I gave my life for my success
Gave a little too much I guess
Cause all that's left is emptiness
What happened to my friends?

I know time and tide keep marching on
Here today and then you're gone

I did it all from The Honky Tonk
To Carnegie Hall
From Tokyo to Texas came the call
And every mile's a memory
That's burned into my soul
So, no matter what tomorrow brings
No matter what song the new star sings
I never will forget I did it all

I did it all from North to South
And all points in between
But from Hollywood to heartbreak
Takes no time
But that was way back then
And I must face tomorrow now
And if you ask me how I am today
I can turn to you in truth and say
I did it all and now at last I'm doing fine...
