Lyrics

  1. 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”

  1. 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
