Lyrics

Never thought that you would be
Standing here so close to me
There’s so much I feel that I should say
But words can wait until some other day

Chorus
Just kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It’s been a long, long time
Haven’t felt like this, my dear
Since can’t remember when
It’s been a long, long time
You’ll never know how many dreams I dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
So, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It’s been a long, long time
