Lyrics

A crowded senior high school hall was where he saw her smile
He was locker eighty-eight, she was eighty- nine
He took a chance, held out his hand
Said "the first day's always rough without a friend"
Home room's just around the bend, science lab's next to the gym
The lunch bell rings 11:28, save me a place

Save me a place, I want to get to know you better
Just a little space, anywhere next to you
Something bout' the way
you made me feel when I saw that smile on your face
Save me a place

A hundred love notes later he was getting on a plane
He knew that she was torn about his dream job in LA
Hoped to God he'd see her at the gate, with a suitcase in her hand
He wiped a tear, and took a step
Hung his head, and felt a tap
Suddenly he turned to hear her say "save me a place"

Save me a place, I want to grow old together
Just a little space, anywhere next to you
Cause no one makes me feel the way you do
And I need your love everyday
Save me a place

For fifty years they laughed and cried, and loved their way through life
Till the night the doctor told him, it was time to say, goodbye

Save me a place, I need to be with you forever
Just a little space, anywhere next to you
And When I pass those gates , I know that I'll be smiling
Just to see your face
Save me a place
