Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My lips just can't kiss enough of
My arms just can't squeeze enough of
My heart just can't love enough of you (wo-ho woa-a-ho)

We just don't seem to date enough of
Can't wait until we're close together
I know our little dream is true (woo-who who)
I see a gleam in her eye-hi-hi
I know it's time to say goodbye-hi-hi
Hand in hand, I walk her to the door-oor-oor oh
She won't go in til she kisses me some more

Oh, don't care for a diamond ring
Just you, you're my everything
My heart just can't love enough of you (wo-ho woa-a ho)

My lips just can't kiss enough of
My arms just can't squeeze enough of
My heart just can't love enough of you (wo-ho woa-a ho)

We just don't seem to date enough of
Can't wait until we're close together
I know our little dream is true (woo-who wo-whoo)

I see a gleam in her eye-hi-hi
I know it's time to say goodbye-hi-hi
Hand in hand, I walk her to the door-oor-oor oh
She won't go in til she kisses me some more

Oh, don't care for a diamond ring




Just you, you're my everything
My heart just can't love enough of you (wo a-ho woa-a ho)

Oh once to my heart
Came a dream set apart
Oh yes she is my love to remember
Oh hers was the smile
That made life seem worth while
Oh yes she is my love to remember

Made a plan we should meet
At a dance down the street
Well, fate is sometimes just a lander
Oh, though she's gone on her way
I will find her someday
Oh yes, she is my love to remember

Oh once to my heart
Came a dream set apart
Oh yes she is my love to remember
Oh hers was the smile
That made life seem worth while
Oh yes she is my love to remember

Made a plan we should meet
At a dance down the street
Well, fate is sometimes just a lander
Oh, though she's gone on her way
I will find her someday
Oh yes, she is my love to remember

No Serial Killer

The music in this song influenced our song 'Know Cereal Killa'. What a talent he was. No Serial Killer.

Photo from Chadron, Nebraska, October 3 1959. Think the guy leaning over the pno was Ed's driver at that time. The girl, left to the driver, gave Ed the key of Chadron as he was voted most popular male singer there by them and the radio station. Forgot her name but I'm positive she is still alive. Have seen some recent photo/s of her.
