Stolen Kisses 1916 Romberg

Kisses are not cold,
some indeed are bold,
warm as the sunshine above you,
kisses may be mild,
given to a child
others mean: "Darling I love you."
What did yours then mean,
when I was sixteen?
Tried you my love to awaken?
In your heart, I thought,
you my fire had caught,
I was, alas, mistaken!

Stolen kisses sweet may be,
still they are a theft, you see,
stolen goods must be returned,
ere life in Paradise can be earned,
can be earned Stolen kisses
sweet may be,
heartfelt ones seem best to me!
They enkindle love's desire,
and they set your heart afire,
and they set your heart afire,
and they set your heart afire!

Kisses when stolen are charming,
yet their effect is alarming;
right for my heart
aimed is the dart;
Cupid for battle is arming!
Kisses when stolen are charming,
yet their effect is alarming;
arrow inspiring,
Cupid is firing,
forth goes the dart!
Pointed right at my heart!
