Thank you. Thank you very much.
Before I do this next song,
I want to give credit to the fellow who
wrote this song.
Because had it not been for the next song,
I might not even be standing here
singing right now.
it was written by a very good friend,
and one of the finest songwriters
around today.
His name is Bobby Russell,
and he not only wrote this next song,
he wrote Little Green Apples,
he wrote The Night the Lights
Went Out in Georgia.
A lot of great songs,
but of all the songs he'll ever write,
I guess this will always be my favorite
because it did so much for me.
The song is called Honey.
