THE KISS THAT BOUND MY HEART TO THINE
Phil P. Kerl

One happy day long, long ago
When summer fields were all aglow
And birds were singing in the tree
I bade a sad farewell to thee
The gentle breezes murmured low
The daisies nodded to and fro
When you received from lips of mine
The kiss that bound my heart to thine

CHORUS:
The gentle breezes murmured low
The daisies nodded to and fro
When you received from lips of mine
The kiss that bound my heart to thine

Though seas have kept us far apart
Your image still is in my heart
And visions of the fields and flowers
Console my lone and weary hours
I hear the robins as of yore
I see the sparrows 'bout your door
And when the shades of evening fall
I catch the whip-poor-will's sad call
(chorus)

Again among the clover sweet
Where in the past we used to meet
My weary feet I long to trace
To see once more your genial face
But while from you I may remain
I live in hope to come again
For dearer than the stars that shine
The kiss that bound my heart to thine
(chorus)
