Lyrics | The Kiss That Made Me Cry Verse: Soldier boy for Old Glory, Now he is safely home. I begged to hear his story, Of hardships across the foam. He said “The saddest day, Was when I sailed away.” Refrain: I held back each tear as I kissed mother dear, I held back the tears when I kissed dad, I held back each tear as I kissed wifey dear, But oh how it made me sad. I tried to be brave as we parted, I held back each tear with a sigh, But when I had to kiss my baby, That’s the kiss that made me cry. Verse: Most ev’ry story’s worth hearing, Many remain untold. Each story’s tale’s endearing, And well worth its weight in gold. Saddest of all I heard, Let me repeat each word: Refrain |
