All For The Want Of A Kiss 1951 JPitt-Payne

Big events sometimes
have small beginnings
who can tell the way
love's game will end?
Even as I counted up my winnings
I found I'd lost
and you were just a friend.

For want of a kiss
a heart was lost,
for want of a heart
a love was lost,
for want of a love
romance was lost,
all for the want of a kiss.
And though Juliet
may play her part
a great love affair
can never start,
when poor Romeo
is faint of heart
all for the want of a kiss.
The day we met
as it was planned,
such a fool was I,
for though I longed
to kiss your lips
I let my chance go by.
And if all the things
they say are true,
that you've lost your heart
to someone new,
then some other arms
are holding you
in magical moments of bliss
all for the want of a kiss.

For want of a kiss
a heart was lost,
for want of a heart
a love was lost,
for want of a love
romance was lost,
all for the want of a kiss.
And though Juliet
may play her part
a great love affair
can never start,
when poor Romeo
is faint of heart
all for the want of a kiss.
The day we met
as it was planned,
such a fool was I,
for though I longed
to kiss your lips
I let my chance go by.
And if all the things
they say are true,
that you've lost your heart
to someone new,
then some other arms
are holding you
in magical moments of bliss
all for the want of a kiss.
