Recorded Live at Texas National Outfitters in Houston, TX

lyrics

We met in a Texas ballroom
I was singing wedding love songs for best friend's reception
You walked up to the stage and the look on your face said you wanted me in your collection
I joined you on the balcony for some air
And you asked me, "What do you think about the groom?"
"Well, he seems fine, but you can never really tell," I said and you laughed to the moon
And then you asked me, "Do you think love lasts forever?"
And I said
"Don't give me forever, just give me tonight,
Put your head on my shoulder and hold me 'til the sunlight
And maybe tomorrow you'll give me that too
You'll keep on loving me, and I'll keep on loving you."

That was ten years ago
I'm still playing these shows but I am your man and you're my woman.
You still look at me like you did in the moonlight on the balcony of our beginning
And through the years we've seen our highs and lows
But we both know that is how love goes and grows
It's not in a ring or a song that you sing
It's a feeling that we only feel
Moment to moment it's slowly revealed

But don't give me forever, just give me tonight
Put your head on my shoulder and hold me 'til the sunlight
And maybe tomorrow you'll give me that too
You'll keep on loving me, and I'll keep on loving you

True love is simple, true love is easy to find
Just wait for it wait for it always shows up on time
When no one would suggest it when you least it expect it
It never would cross your mind
When your eyes are closed that's when love knows your heart is open wide

But don't give me forever, just give me tonight
Put your head on my shoulder and hold me 'til the sunlight
And maybe tomorrow you'll give me that too
You'll keep on loving me, and I'll keep on loving you
Don't give me forever...
