Salute (A Lot More Livin' to Do) - Gordon Lightfoot

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

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 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

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 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
