Postbox Kisses

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Outside the schoolyard gate Your scarf was red and white You laughed at my brave face Then looked away real quick My shoes were scuffed and thin My hands were shaking bad You said, "Are you gonna try?" I said, "I might, I might" [Pre-Chorus] The whole world held its breath By the postbox on the lane You leaned in just a little And I forgot my name [Chorus] First kiss, oh, first kiss Under that grey-blue sky First kiss, oh, first kiss I was seventeen and shy First kiss, oh, first kiss You made my heart feel light First kiss, oh, first kiss And I've kept it all my life [Verse 2] Your lipstick on my cheek A red as bright as spring We heard a passing bus And hid behind the swings You said, "Don't tell a soul" I said, "I won't, I swear" But every time I pass I still can taste you there [Pre-Chorus] The whole world held its breath By the postbox on the lane You leaned in just a little And I forgot my name [Chorus] First kiss, oh, first kiss Under that grey-blue sky First kiss, oh, first kiss I was seventeen and shy First kiss, oh, first kiss You made my heart feel light First kiss, oh, first kiss And I've kept it all my life [Bridge] Years go by, same old road Same rain on the panes But one small stolen moment Still rings inside my veins If love comes back around With its old familiar sound I'll know it from the start Like your footsteps on the ground [Final Chorus] First kiss, oh, first kiss Under that grey-blue sky First kiss, oh, first kiss I was seventeen and shy First kiss, oh, first kiss You made my heart feel light First kiss, oh, first kiss And I've kept it all my life First kiss, oh, first kiss Still shining in my mind First kiss, oh, first kiss The sweetest way to time
