BUT THEN, THAT KISS

6/8
How was it we ended up here,
a lot more involved than we ever thought we'd be?
Good friends- for several years,
but the two of us together I could never have foreseen.
Country weddings and picnics:
not ours, but friends' or friends' of friends.
Candlelight settings at Christmas:
for hours we'd laugh in innocence.

A    BUT THEN, THAT KISS,
    that ultra-sensitive tingling
    when lips touch lips,
    so light, so tentative, too.
    I don't know if my eyes were open.
    Couldn't see anything but you.
    BUT THEN, THAT KISS, THAT KISS-.

How was it this happened right now,
with you leaning there underneath the mistletoe?
Such beauty, I couldn't allow
to be lost or to be wasted on some heartless gigolo.
Christmas presents at midnight:
I can't recall a single gift.
Somebody's presence held me tight,
distracting me with pursing lips.

    CHORUS   A

        You could say I've had my share of kisses.
        You could say I've had a taste of fun.
        You could say a string of bad near-misses
        brought me here to appreciate the perfect one.

B    BUT THEN, THAT KISS,
    that irrepressible feeling
    when lips touch lips,
    so strong, yet vuln'rable, too.
    I don't know if my brain was working.
    Couldn't think of anything but you.
    BUT THEN, THAT KISS, THAT KISS-.

To other young love / fresh love song lyrics:   IT'S CRAZY
JUST FRIENDS
DON'T SAY I NEVER
MAXIMUM EXPOSURE
THE LOVE YOU MAKE
CAHUENGA, TOPANGA
COME CLEAN WITH ME
ELEMENT OF SURPRISE
SOMEBODY'S MOVING IN
HOW CAN I BE FALLING?
FOG ON THE WINDSHIELD
LOOKING FOR MS. PREFECT
I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE
I'D PREFER YOU DIDN'T MISS ME
THE WORLD'S GREATEST LOVER
ONCE I'VE GIVEN YOU MY HEART
MAYBE WE'VE BEEN PLANNING THIS
WHAT THE HELL TOOK US SO LONG?
To the TOP
