Out of the ether for forty days
And forty lonely nights
Sands move the time and it flies away
Like winter birds in flight I wake up to find
That all my love has flown
And now I must wake up alone
Leave a kiss before you go A kiss before you go Simple and eager he stands before me Like a little child
Soft hands and sad eyes he will reach me Tender, meek and mild
But what can be done
With one so soft and sweet
Oh, never the twain shall meet
Leave a kiss before you go A kiss before you go A kiss before you go A kiss before you go Watching his back as he walked away
Felt like a hundred years
Days turn to centuries
Seconds to eons
Months will turn to tears
I wonder where he is As I turn off the light
I’ll speak to the angels tonight
Leave a kiss before you go A kiss before you go A kiss before you go A kiss before you go
