revolve around the center
I have seen the hopefuls come and go
I've seen the Hall of Famers
join the legends of the past
Enshrined forever in their artful play
Yet I've seen some talent
Destroyed by the glamour of the stage
I have seen a bashful mountain girl
Nervously await to take her bow
Then watch the shining star arise
I've heard some funny stories
As I've waited in the wings
And I've heard a few of tragedy and rain
I've heard tales of broken hearts
Put to music and delivered on the stage
This old stage is close to heaven
A place for the gathering of stars
With angels standing in the wind,
waiting for a chance to sing their part
Yes, I've seen the Hall of Famers
join the legends of the past
Enshrined forever in their rightful place
And when the final curtain
There's no place I'd rather be
than in the center of the
