Lyrics
Saving Up My Time
Guess we knew it wouldn't last
An offer has come again
Its something that requires my special attention
I take a cab to the airport to catch my plane
It's another long trip taking me far away
I'm saving up my time
Made up my mind
Saving up my time
I want to spend my time with you
Brief are our lives and the moments we must choose
And when your head is heavy and your heart has been harpooned
Know it, it won't be long until I can be home next to you
Lay down your weary head and get yourself some rest
Maybe by the morning light, the weight will be lifted from your chest
I'm saving up my time
Made up my mind
Saving up my time
I want to spend my time with you
Brief are our lives and the moments we must choose
Stuck in the rat race my moments lost with you
Theyve rescheduled my meeting
I wont be able to call you
Had a late dinner and now my stomach aches
It was pretty expensive little bellyache
I'm saving up my time
Made up my mind
Saving up my time
I want to spend my time with you
Brief are our lives and the moments we must choose
Right now it's getting late as I sit in my hotel room
It's been a long day, but it'll be ending soon
In the morning as I pack up my suit case
I see my dirty laundry can wait another day
I'm saving up my time
Made up my mind
Saving up my time
I want to spend my time with you
Brief are our lives and the moments we must choose
My plane is running late wonder what I can do
I'd trade my first class ticket to just get back home to you
And now I'm in the air and I smell your perfume... Oh Baby!
It's just a magazine that someone's flipping through
I'm saving up my time
Made up my mind
Saving up my time
I'm going to spend it all on you
Brief are our lives and the moments we must choose
I'm at airport and my heart begins to race
I double tip the sky cab to pickup the pace
And now you're here, my own personal valet
It's such wonderful thing to finally see your face
I'm saving up my time
Made up my mind
Saving up my time
I'm going to spend my life with you
Brief are our lives and the moments we must choose
Liking it Rich.... nice Live soud.. glad to see you are getting back into it..
