GIVE ME ONE MORE KISS
by Robert Center
(Recorded c. November 1954)


Give me one more kiss for happiness I'll miss
For when I turn and walk away, we'll never kiss again
Let me gaze upon you tenderly, the way you used to look at me
When we were happy and I thought our love would never end

Everything is different now, the flame of love went out somehow
I have a funny feeling down inside
That the happiness I'm searching for is waiting on some foreign shore
So darling give me one more kiss before we say goodbye

Give me one more kiss one moment more of bliss
Before I turn my back on love and break a heart that's true
For a pretty girl, a lovely song, is all the happiness I've known
And I could never settle down as you would have me do

Memphis, Dallas, Santa Fe - I love them all - they're callin' me
I want to see the open road again
And I'm leavin' just the way I came, it's best that you forget my name
So darling give me one more kiss for things that might have been

Give me one more kiss, and please remember this
I'm not the kind to take a heart and break it just for fun
And I know I'll miss your smilin' face, I want to feel your warm embrace
But wanderlust is in my soul, I must be movin' on

Even though your love is real, I've told just the way I feel
It's seems that there is nothin' more to say
I hear my train a-comin' now, I know you'll get along somehow
So darling give me one more kiss and I'll be on my way
