Tears will be saved 'til they're better spent.

Beautiful lyrics! I think one of the most evocative music genres is the big band sound of the 40's. For me it instantly creates images of shoulder pads, fedoras, bright red lipstick and smoke-filled bars (even though it all happened long before I was born!)
Hi Sharyn, I can relate to what you're saying about the 40s big bands. It does get the imagination going! Thanks for commenting.
