I Should Have Kissed You

Story Behind The Song

I met an exceptional young beautiful woman a couple of years back and we fell into a friendship...evolving into something deeper ...but as we supporting friends sometimes get the wrong impression so I imagined...if I was ever in the position to kiss her goodbye, I never could.

Song Description

I met a beautiful young lady a couple of years back, we we're both going or had broke up with our partners...she worked on one of my projects and to thank her I took her to lunch, we had a terrific time and she asked me out to lunch a few days later...we continued these lunch rendezvous for a while then went to Central Park to play racquetball, then we played pool...and on and on for a while and I knew she had been hurt so I took time before going any further...but somewhere along the way we lost each other ...she got the job of her dreams and moved on and I didn't pursue her because I knew, I would never fit in to her plans but I knew that if I had the chance to kiss her goodbye, I never could.

Lyrics

I wish I knew where I stand with you
Cause I could barely feel your pulse
I think you care when you smile at me
But you rarely get that close
I'm calling an end before we get started, just don't know when I'll let you know
Waited for you to get situated a lifetime ago
You seduced from me a slight hope to reason that we could be friends and
your love would grow

Chorus
I should have kissed you goodbye, I should have cut off our ties
I should have kissed you goodbye...but I can't, No I can't
Bridge
A selfish girl like you who's left my heart stranded and bewitched straight through
You cast this mindless, hopeless spell of devotion so all I see is you,
so all I want is you, so all I need is you
I should have kissed you goodbye, I should have cut off our ties, I should have kissed you goodbye, Yea ...but I can't
I should Have kissed you goodbye
I should have kissed you goodbye

Seasons change and you may realize you should be here by my side
So listen up and make up your mind
When I ask you one last time
Ch
Should have I kissed you goodbye, should have I cut off our ties,
Should Have I kissed you goodbye...but I can't,
no I can't
