Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song after an insane year in which my wife worked overtime Monday thru Thursday and I was out playing gigs Thursday thru Saturday. It seemed like we only saw each other for a couple of hours on Sunday nights. We recorded in Raleigh's Sonic Wave studios.
Lyrics
Take me back in your arms
Take me back in time to when
We had nothing
We had everything we needed then
All the time in the world
All the time for each other
Days are long, nights are heaven when you're friends and lovers
It really gives me a spark
to see you dressed up so
Flamenco dancer stole my heart
Then she stole the show
Stealing kisses on the sly
No one else could catch my eye
Throwing caution to the wind
So in love and so alive
So take me, hold me like
There's nothing else you care about
Take me in, I'll take you out
Take me down, knock me out
Just take me, love me
Make it like it used to be
So good, so long
Say it ain't all gone
Spending money, drinking wine
They're just substitutes for time
Search for something we can't find
When all we really need is
All the time in the world
All the time for each other
Days are long, nights are heaven when you're friends and lovers
So take me back, hold me like
There's nothing else you care about
Take me in, I'll take you out
Take me down, knock me out
Just take me, love me
Make it like it used to be
So good, so long
I know it ain't all gone
