Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

God Bless The Other 99

I learned more from failure than I learned from success

I learned from no thank you, so much more than from yes

I learned to be willing to lead with my chin

And if I were willing to lose, I could win

I learned from the losers who got right back in line

The dimmer their future, than the brighter they'd shine

Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred

But God bless the other 99

Those courageous people changed my life

They taught me that you can give in, you can give out, but you don't give up

I learned more from failure than I learned from success

I learned from no thank you, so much more than from yes

I learned to be willing to lead with my chin

And if I were willing to lose, I could win

Everything's coming up roses..."Thank you"

Everything's coming up roses..."Thank you"

Everything's coming up roses for me and for.."Thank you, Next!"

I learned from the losers who got right back in line

(Kiss the day goodbye)

The dimmer their future, than the brighter they'd shine

(And point me towards tomorrow)

Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred

But God bless, God bless....

All of us up here on this stage tonight

Are here because of the courage that we learned from the other 99

We'll be forever grateful

Right Billy?

Right!

I learned more from failure than I learned from success

How about you Vanessa?

I learned from no thank you so much more than from yes

And you Debra?

I learned to be willing to lead with my chin

Dana, Terry, everybody!

And if we were willing to lose, we could win

We learned from the losers who got right back in line

The dimmer their future, than the brighter they'd shine

Three cheers for the one, the one in a hundred

But God bless...

Upfront we were always meant to be

God bless....

There for all the world to see

God bless..."Thank you", No, thank you!

The other 99!
