Save Your Kisses is the debut studio album by Danish singer Natasha Thomas, released on 5 July 2004 by Epic Records. The album had impact in some European countries and South America, particularly in Brazil, where the song "It's Over Now" became popular following its inclusion on the soundtrack to the telenovela Her Own Destiny . In Japan, the album was released in 2005 with a different cover art and a slightly altered track listing; in it, "Save Your Kisses for Me" was replaced with "Let Me Show You (The Way)", which has the same arrangement, but with different lyrics, and the song "I'm Just a Little Bit Shy" was replaced with a single mix of "Save Your Kisses for Me".
