Lyrics
Saving my love for you
C:1996
When you walked into the room, I couldn?t believe my eyes
There I stood with drink in hand, trying to desensitize
A lifetime full of loneliness, a void inside
You walked right up to me and turned the tide
You flashed your pretty eyes at me and sat down by my side
A lump was forming in my throat as I groped for something cool to say
You ordered up a longneck, and flashed a smile my way
And this is all that I could think of to say
Chorus: I?m saving, saving, saving this seat for you
I?ve been waiting for so long for love to come my way
And this is exactly what has happened today
This finally happened today
We hit it off right from the star, it went so perfectly
Your style of conversation covered all of my uncertainty
Your words came flowing out so gracefully
Letting the love I had trapped inside me
Find a place to go, a way to be set free
A place to finally call a home, a woman to hold on to me
Suddenly, it?s clear to me why I never could
Give my life away to anyone
Chorus: I was saving, saving, saving my love for you
I?ve been looking all my life for love to come my way
This is exactly what has happened today
Love really happened this way
Well, we had quite a history, we played the dating game
Each of us a little shy, holding on to what we owned
Deep down inside our secret territory
No one invaded this sanctuary
Time has a funny way of helping you let go
To the inhibitions deep inside that keep you always on your toes
But when the right one comes along, you?ll easily
Let the love inside you flow out freely
Chorus: I?m saving, saving, saving my life for you
I was looking everywhere for love to find me
This is exactly the one love for me
You are the one love for me??????..mmmmmmmm
