Lyr Req: Please Pass The Kisses

Any chance someone on this forum might know the full lyrics, year published, author/composer, and recording artist for a song probably entitled Please Pass The Kisses? The ONLY version I have ever heard is from a square dance with the following chorus line:
    Don't let foolish pride keep us apart
    Please pass the kisses sweetheart

    (or, alternately: Don't let a lover's quarrel keep us apart
    Please pass the kisses sweetheart).
Any help would be much appreciated!

Boy, that's a hard one. This page (click) shows a 45 rpm record by Jan Howard called "Please Pass the Kisses." I wonder if that could be the one. I couldn't find the recording online.

The song PLEASE PASS THE KISSES has been translated into Danish as GEM DINE ROSER(literally SAVE YOUR ROSES) (or was it the other way round?), and there are two libraries in Denmark that hold the sheet music. Because of this, we can identify the songwriter as Harlan Howard. It was published in Denmark in 1962.

Wikipedia says Jan Howard (b. 1929) was the wife of Harlan Howard (1927-2002)
