Gordon Lightfoot - Salute Lyrics
Listen mister i won't waste your timeI hope all the mistakes you made were a lot like mineLovin' girls too much sometimes they made you cryMaybe we've got more livin' to do with a lot less painHere, let's drink to youThese are the words i knew would break the iceI held my hand out and he shook it twiceIt seemed to me like i'd been here beforeDeja vu, familiar voiceAnd the salute of my choiceSalute gentlemen of days gone byLadies of leisure and of flashing eyeMay some romantic fool turn on your lightAs for me i'm in betweenAll that i can do is dreamYou got a lot more livin' to doAnd a lot more lovin' tooWhen you make it through the night with no end in sightAnd the dawn peeks throughYou got a lot more livin' to doSalute nightingales upon the tideBrothers of the cloth tonight who must be triedMay all of your martinis be forever dryAs for me i'm in betweenAll that i can do is dreamYou got a lot more livin' to doAnd a lot more lovin' tooWhen you make it through the night with no end in sightAnd the dawn peeks throughYou got a lot more livin' to doAnd a lot more lovin' tooYou got a lot more livin' to doAnd a lot more lovin' too
