For The Want Of A Kiss

For The Want Of A Kiss - Johnny Hartman

For the want of a kiss a heart was lost

For the want of a heart a love was lost

A love I wanted to return

A love I found to to late

For the want of a kiss a dream was lost

For the want of a dream the world was lost

A world that quit to forgive

A world in which I couldn't live

We sat there close together

Pride said our goodbyes

But in our hearts our lips met

It showed right through our eyes

Though the night

Fades away

And brings the Dawn

And I stand alone

While my love has gone

A love to great to go amiss

Was lost for the want of just

A kiss
