[Intro]
This next song is called "The Edge of Glory"
And I really wanted to play it for everyone tonight because
It's the second Thanksgiving I'm spending without my grandpa
And I wrote this song about him
So here it is, this is "The Edge of Glory"
So, Grandma, if you're watching at home, this one's for you
[Verse 1]
There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
Tonight, yeah, baby
But I got a reason that you should take me home tonight
I need a man that thinks it right when it's so wrong
Tonight, yeah, baby
'Night, yeah, baby
Right on the limit's where we know we both belong tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hot to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
[Chorus]
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
[Break]
One of my favorite memories with my grandpa and my grandma around Thanksgiving
And it's actually leading up to Christmas time
Is that they make these cookies called pizzelles
And if you're Italian, you know what those are
They're like really flat waffles, they're really thin and crisp
My grandpa would always make the pizzelles and he always worked the machine and everybody had to
"I got it, outta the way, outta the way, outta the way"
That was my grandfather's thing is he made the, the pizzelles, so
I don't know why, but right now, I'm just thinking about
Thinking about the Italian cookies
[Verse 2]
Another shot before we kiss the other side
Tonight, yeah, baby
I'm on the edge of somethin' final we call life tonight
Alright, alright
Put on your shades, I know you're dancin' the flames
Tonight, yeah, baby
'Night, yeah, baby
Oh, it isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hot to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
[Chorus]
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment, baby, with you
I'm on the edge, I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hangin' on a moment
I'm on the edge with you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
