Lyrics
- Come, dear, I hear
Music so entrancing
Everyone dancing
To the “Kiss a Miss”
It’s a new waltz
Best of all when you waltz
With someone you love to kiss
Sweethearts who love
With a tender true love
Just the way we two love
Can’t resist its charms
Some new feeling
Softly comes a stealing
As I take you in my arms
Refrain:
Hold me just a little tighter
Whisper we shall never part
All the world is so much brighter
When I press you to my heart
Give me those sweet lips that taunt me
You won’t miss a little kiss
Dearest, if you really want me
Kiss me while they’re playing “Kiss a Miss”
- Somehow, right now
I’m so happy, dearie
Life’s so bright and cheery
When I waltz with you
Seems like moonlight
On a balmy June night
In a world just made for two
Gently gliding
Modest blushes hiding
Tender dreams confiding
To that haunting tune
Let us ever
Be this way together
On an endless honeymoon
