Lyrics

[Verse 1] Listen mister, I won't waste your time I hope all the mistakes you made were a lot like mine Lovin' girls too much, sometimes they made you cry Maybe we've got more livin' to do with a lot less pain Here, let's drink to you [Verse 2] These are the words I knew would break the ice I held my hand out and he shook it twice It seemed to me like I'd been here before Deja vu, familiar voice And the salute of my choice [Verse 3] Salute gentlemen of days gone by Ladies of leisure and of flashing eye May some romantic fool turn on your light As for me, I'm in between All that I can do is dream [Chorus] You got a lot more livin' to do And a lot more lovin' too When you make it through the night with no end in sight And the dawn peeks through You got a lot more livin' to do [Verse 4] Salute nightingales upon the tide Brothers of the cloth tonight who must be tried May all of your martinis be forever dry As for me, I'm in between All that I can do is dream [Chorus] You got a lot more livin' to do And a lot more lovin' too When you make it through the night with no end in sight And the dawn peeks through You got a lot more livin' to do And a lot more lovin' too You got a lot more livin' to do And a lot more lovin' too You got a lot more livin' to do And a lot more lovin' too
