I-Love-You Kisses

Words and music ©2018 by John Speckine Lyrics below. This song is remembering the preparations Jody and I made in 1982 for our wedding the following spring. And then she was gone. I call it a "kick in the gut" song, but writing it proved helpful, therapy-wise. Artistic license used in describing losing her. I don't like to go there. LYRICS: I remember when our love was new I'd stay awake all night and lay with you We'd laugh and talk and make love all night long And then you'd stay in my arms until dawn One day I asked if you would be my wife You said "Yes" and changed me and my life We made a kiss for when we'd say "I do" A kiss of pure emotion; I fell more in love with you We had "I love you" kisses That we used to practice for our wedding day We used to practice every night Because we wanted it just right It took our love to greater heights We had "I love you" kisses On our wedding day, we used that kiss Nothing else could be as good as this We didn't want the kiss to ever end So we caught our breath and kissed again But for all good things, there comes a time And the day came when I would lose mine I made you take your kisses and walk out the door Now I'd give everything if I could only have one more I miss "I love you" kisses That we used to practice for our wedding day I miss so much since you've been gone The loving high that we were on My best friend and our time alone I miss "I love you" kisses I miss "I love you" kisses That we used to practice for our wedding day I miss so much since you've been gone The loving high that we were on My best friend and our time alone I miss "I love you" kisses I miss "I love you" kisses That we used to practice for our wedding day I miss so much since you've been gone The loving high that we were on My best friend and our time alone I miss "I love you" kisses Words and music ©2018 by John Speckine
