Sprinkle Me With Kisses 1915

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Oct 2004

I know you wonder what I'm thinking of
when you start making love;
I know you wonder what is in my heart,
and you wonder why you always blunder,
I've tried in many ways to see if you
ever knew just what to do,
but now I'll tell you
for I'm compelled to,
here's what you should do:

You must sprinkle me with kisses,
a lot of loving kisses,
if you want my love to grow;
my love is like a flower,
so start your April shower,
that's the only way I know.
My love will start a growing,
and there's no way of knowing
just how far, dear, it will go;
So won't you grant me all my wishes,
won't you sprinkle me with kisses,
if you want my love to grow?

You must sprinkle me with kisses,
a lot of loving kisses,
if you want my love to grow;
my love is like a flower,
so start your April shower,
that's the only way I know.
My love will start a growing,
and there's no way of knowing
just how far, dear, it will go;
So won't you grant me all my wishes,
won't you sprinkle me with kisses,
if you want my love to grow?

Just sprinkle water over any rose
and you'll see that it grows;
Just cover any little seed with earth,
then you'll know it helps to start to grow it,
just plant a little seed of loving here,
It will sprout and soon appear;
I find no harm in a little farming,
cultivate me, dear:

You must sprinkle me with kisses,
a lot of loving kisses,
if you want my love to grow;
my love is like a flower,
so start your April shower,
that's the only way I know.
My love will start a growing,
and there's no way of knowing
just how far, dear, it will go;
So won't you grant me all my wishes,
won't you sprinkle me with kisses,
if you want my love to grow?

You must sprinkle me with kisses,
a lot of loving kisses,
if you want my love to grow;
my love is like a flower,
so start your April shower,
that's the only way I know.
My love will start a growing,
and there's no way of knowing
just how far, dear, it will go;
So won't you grant me all my wishes,
won't you sprinkle me with kisses,
if you want my love to grow?
