A Kiss Like This
John Lindberg Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's that perfume? I'm not familiar with it
What's that music I hear when you smile?
The moon's electric, I'm dazzled I admit it
The magic that you're weaving, is way beyond believing
My heart is pounding like ten thousand drums
Look at this slave of love that I have become
You shook me to the core with one touch of your lips
You know there's never, ever been a kiss like this

Stars bursting like the fourth of July
Earth's shaking like it's coming alive
And my head it's spinning girl I'm telling you why
'Cause there's never, ever been a kiss like this

Love and romance, I ain't no stranger to it
Tender kisses, I had my share
Señoritas, that sure knows how to do it
Lips like sugar candy, well that's so find and dandy
But what just happened right here in your arms
If it was a fire it would be a full alarm
And the wonders of the world is one more for the less
Cause there's never, ever been a kiss like this

Stars bursting like the fourth of July
Earth's shaking like it's coming alive
And my head it's spinning girl I'm telling you why
'Cause there's never, ever been a kiss like this

Heaven sending, that's comprehending
And in this moment of bliss
So euphoric, must be historic
Has there ever been a kiss?

Stars bursting like the fourth of July
Earth's shimmy, shimmy, shimmy shaking coming alive




And my head it's spinning girl I'm telling you why
'Cause there's never, ever, never, ever been a kiss like this
