Give Me One More Kiss

Jim Reeves · Dear Hearts and Gentle People [Legacy] [2005]

Give me one more kiss

For happiness I'll miss

For when I turn and walk away

We'll never kiss again.

Let me gaze upon you tenderly

The way you used to look at me

When we were happy and I thought

Our love would never end.



Everything is different now

The flame of love went out some how

I have a funny feelin' down inside

That the happiness I'm searchin' for

Is waiting on some foriegn shore

So darling, give me one more kiss

Before we say goodbye.



--- Instrumental ---



Give me one more kiss

One moment more of bliss

Before I turn my back on love

And break a heart that's true.

For a pretty girl aloud me some

Is all the happiness I've known

And I could never settle down

As you would have me do.



Memphis, Dallas, Sante Fe

I loved them all they're calling me

I want to see the open road again

I'm leaving just the way I came

It's best if you forgot my name

So darling, give me one more kiss

For things that might have been.



--- Instrumental ---



Give me one more kiss

And please remember this

I'm not the kind to take a heart

And break it just for fun.

And I know I'll miss your smiling face

I want to feel your warm embrace

But wonderlust is in my soul

I must be movin' on.



Even though your love is real

I've told you just the way I feel

It seem that there is nothin' more to say

I hear my train a-comin' now

I know you'll get along some how

So darling, give me one more kiss

And I'll be on my way...
