Lyrics:
Just because you kissed me, darling,
For the first time, sweet farewell,
From my side I've missed thee, darling,
More than words of mine can tell,
Since my lips received that token
Of thy love so fond and true,
With the sweet spell still unbroken,
Mem'ry turns to home and you.
chorus:
Darling, just because you kissed me,
I am happy as can be,
Though my heart has sadly missed thee,
With thy sweet face far from me.
Just because you kissed me, darling,
With the teardrops on thy cheek,
Well I know this little token
Echoed what thy lips would speak,
From thy side my steps may wander,
Yet my heart is left to thee,
While I trust thy love grows fonder
Ev'ry hour we parted be.
Just because you kissed me, darling,
With those ruby lips of thine,
How could I forget thee, darling,
And thy heart be true to mine?
By and by thy smile shall cheer me,
And thy words will welcome me
Back again to linger near thee,
Nevermore to parted be.
