For the want of a kiss A heart was lost For the want of a heart A love was lost A love I wanted to return A love I found too late to learn For the want of a kiss A dream was lost For the want of a dream A world was lost A world that cried out to forgive A world in which, I couldn't live We stood there, close together Pride said our goodbyes But in our hearts, our lips met It shone right through our eyes So the night fades away And brings the dawn And I stand alone, for my love has gone A love too great to go amiss Was lost for the want of just a kiss
