[ Cheers and applause ] [ "Millionaire" plays ] They say love is more precious than gold Can't be bought and it can't be sold I got love enough to spare That makes me a millionaire I got a woman with eyes that shine Down deep as a diamond mine She's my treasure so very rare She's made me a millionaire When we ride around, ride around this old town In my beat-up car with the windows down People look at her and they look at me And say, "That boy is sure living in luxury" Sweet luxury Because love is more precious than gold It can't be bought, no, and it can't be sold I got love enough to share That makes me a millionaire Yes, it does When the kisses fall from everywhere Life reaches on, millionaire When my pockets are empty and my cupboard is bare I still feel like a millionaire 'Cause love is more precious than gold It can't be bought, no, and it can't be sold I got love enough to spare That makes me a millionaire [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause continue ] [ Cheers and applause ] Songs can mean different things to you over time.
Like -- Like you can know a song for 20 years and then you hear it that [Chuckles] the 21st year and all of a sudden, wherever you're at in your life or whatever's going on in those 20 years kind of converges into that song and you're like, "Oh, this song means something very different to me now," and you understand the song in a different way.
You can know your song your whole life and it continues to evolve over time for you.
It's all in service of the song.
I mean, if you're playing the guitar part.
you're just trying to serve the song.
If you're playing it for people, you're trying to serve the song so the people can connect with the song, find themselves in the song.
When you're writing a song, you're trying to write a song that does all those things.
The music finds its way around the songs to lift the songs up and make them become something that people can feel, so I always feel like it's all part of the same wheel, really, you know?
[ Cheers and applause ]
