0:17Listen mister I won't waste your time
0:24I hope all the mistakes you made were a lot like mine
0:32Loving girls too much sometimes they made you cry
0:40Maybe we've got more living to do with a lot less pain
0:45Here let's drink to you
0:49These are the words I knew would break the ice
0:56I held my hand out and he shook it twice
1:04It seemed to me like I'd been here before
1:11Deja vu familiar voice
1:16And the salute of my choice
1:20Salute gentlemen of days gone by
1:27Ladies of leisure and of flashing eye
1:35May some romantic fool turn on your light
1:43As for me I'm in between
1:46All that I can do is dream
1:52You got a lot more living to do
2:00And a lot more loving too
2:06When you make it through the night
2:08With no end in sight and the dawn peeks through
2:19You got a lot more living to do
2:39Salute nightingales upon the tide
2:46Brothers of the cloth tonight who must be tried
2:53May all of your martinis be forever dry
3:02As for me I'm in between
3:04All that I can do is dream
3:10You got a lot more living to do
3:18And a lot more loving too
3:24When you make it through the night
3:26With no end in sight
3:28And the dawn peeks through
3:38You got a lot more living to do
3:50And a lot more loving too
3:58You got a lot more living to do
4:06And a lot more loving too
4:13You got a lot more living to do
Listen mister I won't waste your time I hope all the mistakes you made were a lot like mine Loving girls too much sometimes they made you cry Maybe we've got more living to do with a lot less pain Here let's drink to you 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 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 You got a lot more living to do And a lot more loving too When you make it through the night With no end in sight and the dawn peeks through You got a lot more living to do 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 You got a lot more living to do And a lot more loving too When you make it through the night With no end in sight And the dawn peeks through You got a lot more living to do And a lot more loving too You got a lot more living to do And a lot more loving too You got a lot more living to do
