Songtexte I'll Always Remember You (Live) - George Strait

It all started back in 1981
Our life together had just begun
I didn't know what my future would hold
But you gave me a chance
So I set out on the road

It wasn't easy going then
There were times I almost threw that old towel in
But you kept callin me back to the stage
And I finally found my place in each and every face

I'm not sayin I'm through by any means
There's still things that I want to say and do
I hope you won't forget me, cause we've shared a lot dreams
And just know that I'll always remember you

When I first set out on the road, I figured
I had maybe 5 good years to sing my songs for you folks
Well, it's goin on 30 now
And I still love it just as much as I ever did
When I hear that announcer say my name
And I walk through those curtains
And see your smilin' faces
My feet don't touch the ground again
Til I walk out and get back on that bus that got me here

I don't know how many more years I've got left to do this
But I figure a few
I do want you to know, though
That when I do walk off this stage for the last time
And I'm all settled in, away from all this
You won't be far away
I'll still hear your screams and cheers in my mind
And I'll always remember you

I'm not sayin I'm through by any means
Cause there's still things that I want to say and do
I hope you won't forget me, cause we've shared a lot dreams
And just know that I'll always remember you
You've pulled me through some hard times
Hope I've pulled you through a few
And just know that I'll always remem-ber you
