It started as a kiss so long ago
When memories weren’t sure of what was said
And there we were so lost what did we know

A name became a flicker then a glow
Uncertainty was racing through our head
It started as a kiss so long ago

We thought mere words might settle our love’s flow
Exchanging pledges on the day we wed
And there we were so lost what did we know

And with the rain of tears what winds did blow
To shake this haven from the things we dread,
It started as a kiss so long ago

And from the tears what will tomorrow sow
There must be a heaven just ahead
And there we were so lost what did we know

How can lovers see the ground below
When here we have a star to view instead
It started as a kiss so long ago
And there we were so lost what did we know
