Lyrics
- Dreamy the music is playing
You’re here and I’m here, my dear
Somehow the music keeps saying
Something I want you to hear
Refrain
Kiss me, sweetheart, kiss me
That’s what the Kiss Waltz is saying
Bring your lips close to mine while we’re swaying
Oh, my dear! Can’t you hear what they’re playing?
This waltz is the Kiss Waltz
Telling us both what to do
So kiss me! sweetheart, kiss me
While I dance the Kiss Waltz with you
- After the dancing is over
After the others are gone
I’ll hear the strains of the Kiss Waltz
Singing and lingering on
Sung here by Vancha March:
