THE KISS THAT TIME FORGOT

There once was a kiss
far away long ago
For centuries it lasted
two lips that couldn't let go

There once was a kiss
as pure as the rain
Two lips huddled together
like clasps on a chain

There once was a kiss
to the brim it was filled
With the power of passion
and wonderous thrills

There once was a kiss
that shook the whole world
Between a dashing young prince
and a sweet peasant girl

There once was a kiss
and a scandal ensued
For a dashing young prince
whose life came unglued

There once was a kiss
with a price set so high
To save a young prince
a girl had to die

There once was a kiss
abandoned in shame
Tossed in a grave
and stripped of it's name

There once was kiss
that time soon forgot
and an innocent girl
whose love turned to rot

There once was a kiss
so sacred and dear
It should have lasted forever
to be revered

There once was a kiss
now covered with dust
a blood soaked betrayal
a farwell to trust

There once was a kiss
it matters no more
It's lingerings pale
it remains unrestored
