It Started With a Kiss - Paul Kelly

It started with a kiss, in the back row of the classroom

How could I resist the aroma of your perfume

You and I were inseparable, it was love at first sight

You made me promise to marry you, I made you promise to be my bride

But you were only eight years old and I had just about turned nine

I thought that life was always good, I thought you always would be mine

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this

I remember every little thing, like fighting in the playgournd

Some good looking boys had started to hang around

That boy hurt me so bad but I was happy 'cause you cried

Still I couldn’t help but notice that new distant look in your eyes

Then when you were sixteen I had just turned seventeen

I couldn’t hold on to my love, I couldn’t hold on to my dream

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this

You don’t remember me do you?

You don’t remember me do you?

Walking down the streets again, the star of my love sotry

And my heart began to beat so fast, so clear was my memory

I heard my voice call out your name as you looked then looked away

I felt so hurt, I felt so small, it was all that I could say

You don’t remember me do you?

You don’t remember me do you?

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
