A Fond Kiss Lyrics

A fond kiss, and then we sever
A farewell, and then forever
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee

Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him
While the star of hope she leaves him

Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me
Dark despair around benights me

I'll never blame my partial fancy
Nothing could resist my Nancy
But to see her was to love her

Love but her, and love forever
Had we never loved say kindly
Had we never loved say blindly

Never met or never parted
We had never been broken-hearted

Fare thee well, thou first and fairest
Fare thee well, thou best and dearest
Thine be like a joy and treasure

Peace, enjoyment, love, and pleasure
A fond kiss, and then we sever
A farewell, alas, forever

Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee

Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
