SELF-CONTROL
IS THE
PROMISES TO
OURSELVES
THAT WE KEEP
Don’t give up
what you want most
For what you want now.
“Heat of the Moment”
--Asia
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face
Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
And now you find yourself in ‘82
The disco hot spots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings
'Cause it's the heat of the moment
Heat of the moment, the heat of the moment
Shone in your eyes
And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well
It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes
It was the heat of the moment
The heat of the moment, heat of the moment
Shone in your eyes
Heat of the moment, heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
Heat of the moment
“Dust on the Bottle”
--David Lee Murphy
Creole Williams lived down a dirt road
Made homemade wine like nobody I know
Dropped by one Friday night and said, "Can you help me, Creole?
Got a little girl waitin' on me and I want to treat her right"
I got what you need son, it's sittin’ down in the cellar
He reached through the cobwebs as he turned on the light and said
There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It's one of those things that gets sweeter with time
She was sittin' in the porch swing as I pulled up the driveway
My ol’ heart was racing as she climbed inside
She slid over real close and drove down to the lake road
Watched the sun fade in that big red sky
I reached under the front seat and said, "Now here's something special
It's just been waiting for a night like tonight"
There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It's one of those things that gets sweeter with time
You're still with me, and we've made some memories
After all these years, there's one thing I've found
Some say good love, well, it's like a fine wine
It keeps getting better as the days go by
There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It's one of those things that gets sweeter with time
There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don't let it fool ya about what's inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It's one of those things that gets sweeter with time
Don't let it fool ya
