FIRST KISS

THAT FIRST KISS

No wonder he had to steal a kiss! (1970)

My first kiss came
on a cold November night,
A Saturday after Thanksgiving
in a stranger’s church.


My first kiss was a surprise,
not for me,
I’d been thinking
about it all night.
But she was surprised
when she tried
to shake my hand in peace
I charged in
and stole that kiss.

Her light blue eyes
– I am still remembering
And the round cheeks
of her smiling face
That Saturday I kissed her.
It was the only time.
On Monday we headed
back to Jersey
And I never saw her
again.
