Lyrics It Started With a Kiss - Paul Kelly

It Started With a Kiss

It started with a kiss, in the back row of the classroom
How could I resist the aroma of your perfume
You and I were inseparable, it was love at first sight
You made me promise to marry you, I made you promise to be my bride
But you were only eight years old and I had just about turned nine
I thought that life was always good, I thought you always would be mine
It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
I remember every little thing, like fighting in the playgournd
Some good looking boys had started to hang around
That boy hurt me so bad but I was happy 'cause you cried
Still I couldn’t help but notice that new distant look in your eyes
Then when you were sixteen I had just turned seventeen
I couldn’t hold on to my love, I couldn’t hold on to my dream
It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
You don’t remember me do you?
You don’t remember me do you?
Walking down the streets again, the star of my love sotry
And my heart began to beat so fast, so clear was my memory
I heard my voice call out your name as you looked then looked away
I felt so hurt, I felt so small, it was all that I could say
You don’t remember me do you?
You don’t remember me do you?
It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
