Save the Best for the Last (Tom Hodge) People round this town have been here a while They've been friends long enough to say hello with a smile Though it feels like coming home is still weeks away Me and this country band have come here to play CHORUS Play a sweet one for the encore and let's soften the pace Pass my hat to the crowd while you tune up your bass Slow the tempo down, Charlie, I'll take the mike from the stand We'll save the best for the last, to send 'em home hand in hand I'm sorry to hear Fred left us last year It's so good to see your face, your smile is so clear I remember how he'd waltz you across the ballroom Would you dance with an old friend in the light of this moon? CHORUS These songs keep me going, and I'm still amazed At the new faces mixed with those mellowed with age Oh, for thirty-odd years I've rolled over this land Me and old Charlie and the rest of the band CHORUS @music @friends @age filename[ SAVEBEST MC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
