Lyrics

Just kiss me once and 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've 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

Yes, kiss me once, kiss me twice

And kiss me once again

It's a been a long, a 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've dreamed about you

Or just how empty they all seem without you

So kiss me once and kiss me twice

And kiss me once again

It's been a long, ba-ba-ba-bu-time

Oh, yes
