Lyrics
- The story sweet kisses have told you and me
Is a story of love in its infancy
And the kiss that I miss in this life most of all
Is the kiss that you taught me in love’s sacred hall
Chorus
The story that your kisses told dear
Is a story that never grows old
Down thru the years, wet with sorrow’s tears
Your love flamed on red lips now grown cold
I search and I seek for two lips that can speak
As yours when they clung to my own
Although you have gone dear
Our love still lives on dear
In the story your kisses told
- A wonderful story, the one I loved best
You told it to me with a sighing breast
It was not an ill-used tale of vain ardent words
I oft hear it again in notes throated by birds
Sung here by Fred Feild:
