One Kiss Away From Loneliness
Osborne Brothers · Osborne Brothers 1 (1956-1968) [Bear Family] [1993]
I'm just one kiss away from loneliness.
I'm walking you home for the last time
I hope before we get there that you will change your mind
It hurts to know I've lost you I've loved you for so long
What's happened to us darling what brought this parting on.
I'm just one kiss away from loneliness
Hold me tight and love me is my last request
Broken heart we'll have to face it right to hold no regret
I'm just one kiss away from loneliness.
--- Instrumental ---
Now we'll soon be standing at your door
Want you reconsider tell me now before I'll go
For when I'll say goodbye to you I'll leave I won't be back
Loneliness will be my future memories will be my past.
I'm just one kiss away from loneliness
Hold me tight and love me is my last request
Broken heart we'll have to face it right to hold no regret
I'm just one kiss away from loneliness...
