Sérgio Mendes
"Put a Little Love Away"
He asked a question
You had no answer
The music finds you
A sad and lonely dancer
Somehow you lost it
What everybody's looking for
But yesterday is dead and gone
Tomorrow's at your door
Better put a little love away
Everybody needs a penny for a rainy day
Put a little love away
Keep a loving thought in mind
Someone's gotta leave
Somebody's gotta stay behind
Put a little love away
Two people sharing
One tear too many
Look around for miracles
And, no, you don't find any
I've seen it coming
But what am I supposed to do
Just take a closer look around
And simply say to you
Better put a little love away
Everybody needs a penny for a rainy day
Put a little love away
Keep a loving thought in mind
Someone's gotta leave
Somebody's gotta stay behind
Put a little love away
