- Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
- Then kiss me once again
- It's been a long, long time
- Haven't felt like this, my dear
- Since I can't remember when
- It's been a long, long time
-
- You'll never know how many dreams
- I've dreamed about you
- Or just how empty they all seemed without you
- So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
- Then kiss me once again
- It's been a long, long time
-
- Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
- Then kiss me once again
- It's been a long time
- Haven't felt like this my dear
- Since I can't remember when
- It's been a long, long time
-
- You'll never know how many dreams
- I dreamed about you
- Or just how empty they all seemed without you
- So kiss me once then kiss me twice
- Then kiss me once again
- It's been a long, long time
- Long, long time
