ON A SATURDAY

On a Saturday, we had a date
For the best day of the week
I said I would meet you by the gate
And then I kissed you on the cheek
We could go for a sunset by the docks
Throw stones to the water and watch them sink
You asked me for a lighter
And I handed you a matchbox
And I watched you smoke as the sky turned pink
On a Saturday, on a Saturday, you were all that I could care for

On a Saturday, on a Saturday, you were all that I was there for
On a Saturday there was dust in my eye

And you told me you knew how to remove it
I said tonight is the night for you and I
And I intend to prove it
If you care for a ride
Then I can show you around
The city is so pretty in the fall
You said drive me uptown
You said drive me down town
It doesn't matter to me at all

On a Saturday, on a Saturday, you were all that I was there for
On a Saturday, on a Saturday, you were all that I could care for

Ray Charles on the radio
Listen to the beat
Dancing is automatic
You couldn't seat still
You were jumping in your seat
And you were looking fantastic
On a Saturday nevertheless
You told me you could not stand the rain
I said, baby I will take you to Los Angeles
On silver plated plane

On a Saturday, on a Saturday, you were all that I could care for
On a Saturday, on a Saturday, you were all that I had a prayer for
On a Saturday, on a Saturday, you were all that I was there for
On a Saturday, on a Saturday, you were all that I had a prayer for
