Save Tonight
I'm near 40, wrote this one in my early 20s, and it was my first contest placement. A buddy of mine named Leroy was a songwriter, and one day I brought him my stuff. He said he liked it, but my verses were too long, like pages - like Bob Dylan thought "Maybe these songs aren't long enough." And he said I should hone things down, so this is the first song I ever wrote in the typical accepted format. It's just about a busy couple who don't have time to spend together, so they decide to make the time.

Save tonight for me and you
Slip out of those old clothes you worked in
Kick off those shoes
The way your body's movin', it's tellin' me something
I can't refuse
So it's decided we're gonna start the night lovin'
And wait out that moon
(Chorus)
You worked hard all week, me too
To get you alone, I know the minutes are few
Enough time to say "I love you"
But acting on that is harder to do
And the kids play and stay up 'til dawn
I want my goodbye kiss, but you're already gone
I'll make time worth all; it's due
And I'll... save tonight for me and you
I pledge my heart and soul to you
'Cause you're the only one that I ever will love on
My whole life through
Everyday a different horizon
That seems brand new
So at a glance, here's our chance to slide into romance
Late afternoon
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Days like these don't come around
Save few and far between
But on a night like this, I'll steal a kiss
And make time for you and me
And I'll... save tonight for me and you
(Chorus)
