From the recording After We Kissed
Lyrics:
After We Kissed
by Andy Targoff
Most memories are like last week’s dream
But ours are etched in my mind
Our love is a great composer’s theme
Remaining vivid for all time
I had just moved to Brookline for music school
Escaped from my tiny third floor room
Footsteps echoed through the vestibule
When I detected the hint of perfume
Then you appeared with your radiant smile
I said, “I’m your neighbor from apartment three.”
We chatted for a little while
About how the winter had been so stormy
In the back of my mind, I hoped, as time went on
Our hearts would mesh like the breaking dawn
After we kissed, I knew I hadn’t been kissed like that before,
Hadn’t had the love that I wished for, Hadn’t been touched so tenderly
After we kissed, We’d both longed for this for so long.
That’s when I knew you loved me, After we kissed.
Two years danced by like life’s ballet
As I moved back and forth from the city
Every once and a while along the way
I wondered about my friend who looked so pretty
I was working as a cashier in the health food store
When suddenly you came into my view
Like the birds know how to fly and the waves find the shore
I had to reconnect with you
I knew there was no more time to wait
So I finally arranged for our first date
After we kissed, I knew I hadn’t been kissed like that before,
Hadn’t had the love that I wished for, Hadn’t been touched so tenderly
After we kissed, We’d both longed for this for so long.
That’s when I knew you loved me, After we kissed.
Your eyes still keep drawing me nearer
Your words still make me feel freer
And when your arms hold me
You know I never feel lonely
Excitement bristled in the New England air
As we pulled into the Chestnut Hill movies
Whatever we were seeing, I didn’t really care
My fantasy was right in front of me
Your scent left me in an enchanted blur
I held your hand and I couldn’t let go
We ducked behind a white-tiled pillar
Instead of heading into the show
Our gaze was steadfast and engrossing
I stroked your face and pulled you closer
After we kissed, I knew I hadn’t been kissed like that before,
Hadn’t had the love that I wished for, Hadn’t been touched so tenderly
After we kissed, We’d both longed for this for so long.
That’s when I knew you loved me, After we kissed.
