Greatest Time (Spinning Gold)
[NEIL]
It was the greatest time of my life
Yeah, the greatest time of my entire life
I always made sure I took the road
Less traveled 'til the curtain closed
Livin' for my story to be told
'Cause we all have a story to be told
It was the greatest time of our lives
It was the way you felt the love on hot summer nights
We never thought about getting old
And every day was rock and roll
Livin' for our stories to be told
And so we dreamed so big they were destined to explode
We knew one day that we'd be spinning gold
We bet it all to never fall
We'd rather die than fold
We just want our story to be told
It was the greatest time of our lives
When it was over, all we know is that we got it right
With every heartbeat and every note
Let's dim the lights and start the show
Ready for our stories to be told
[NEIL]
And so our dreams so big they were destined to explode
We knew one day that we'd be spinning gold
We bet it all to never fall
We'd rather die than fold
We just want our story to be told
[BILL]
We all need somebody to lean on
[DONNA]
I got to go
I got to go
I got to go
[NEIL]
No matter how high or fast we went
We never looked back, we lived life, no regrets
Wanted to leave this world a better place whenever I left
And give you something that you'd never forget
Oh, let's dance the last dance
Let's dance the last dance
[NEIL & DONNA]
Let's dance the last dance
Tonight
Dreams so big they were destined to explode
We knew one day that we'd be spinning gold
We bet it all to never fall
We'd rather die than fold
We just want our story to be told
And so we dreamed so big they were destined to explode
We knew one day that we'd be spinning gold
We bet it all to never fall
We'd rather die than fold
We just want our story to be told
[PAUL]
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
[GENE]
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
[NEIL]
Oh, we were destined to explode
But we knew that we'd be spinning gold
And we said we'd rather die than fold
We just want our stories to be told
[PETE]
Beth, I'll be writing home to you
[DONNA]
Let's dance, let's dance tonight
[NEIL]
We just want our story to be told
