Kiss Goodbye

Kiss Goodbye Verse: I remember grandpa, he used to bounce me on his knee He would always be there, is what he said to me That kiss I gave him, as he walked out the door Was the last time I saw grandpa, he’s not with me anymore Chorus: I don’t want to kiss goodbye I just want you to stay I don’t want to kiss goodbye Please don’t go away Stay with me forever Until the end of time I never want to lose your love I don’t want to kiss goodbye Verse: I remember daddy, he used to tuck me into bed I never had to worry, is what he always said That kiss I gave him, as he walked out the door Was the last time I saw daddy, he’s not with me anymore Repeat Chorus: Bridge: Words could never tell How I felt inside Through all the goodbyes in my life You’re every breath I take My reason to live Every kiss says I love you For the rest of my life Repeat chorus: Posted for: The Best Love Song Ever Poetry Contest Sponsored by: The Seeker

Listening to this again, for probably the tenth time or more, I'm even more convinced this needs to be on the radio, hope you are doing ok, long time no hear from you!

Thanks so much John. I appreciate your kind comments and I am thrilled you liked the song. She asked me to write her a sad song and this is what I came up with.

WoW! Chris, This is so good and well written. I loved everything about this piece from start to finish. It was the perfect lyric/song.They lyrics were nostalgic and sentimental.I am literally blown away by this piece. I can tell you are a song writer from this write. I've never met any of my biological grandfathers. But I had a step grandfather that loved me so. And father was dear to me. I think you just secured a spot at the top with this write. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

I always wished to know my grandma from mama's side..She died before I was born...I really wish I had known her...I was so scared abput dad dying few months ago...Thank God He didnt..but I m so scared when that time comes and I might have to say goodbye...This is heartwrenchingly sad and profound..Misted my eyes..I can feel 'you'..On the other hand its important not to loose the ones we love ..To show them we love them whilst wecan..Fantastic lyric song..Loved it.

I never knew either of my grandfathers and only knew my grandmother on my father's side. She passed many years ago. I lost my father about 3 years ago and it was a sad time. Thanks so very much my sweet friend for your always kind words to me.

This really touched me on a deeply personal level. It's always painful to say good-bye to someone you love so dearly. Poetry and music should produce emotion in the reader/listener. You've done that beautifully, Chris.

Wonderful, wonderful lyric poem/song, Chris. I'm a songwriter, and this is solid gold. Very nicely done. Song writing format is on point. Everything about this song is all good. Loved it. A 7 and a fave. Sweet double combo song. Hope you do good in the contest. I might enter one of my songs. Love and peace to you.

Thanks so very much Freddie. I have been writing songs for a very long time. That truly is my passion. Poetry is amazing but to hear a song come together with instrumental and vocals, there is nothing better.
