A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste Lyrics
If you listen to the night you can hear the darkness call
I can barely stand to wait. I can barely stand at all
C'mon closer to me now. Its like we're sharing the same
skin
We gotta get outta this jail. We gotta let the future in
So many things in your life that your bound to regret
Why didn't I do that? Why didn't I do this?
So many chances you lost that'll you'll never forget
Why didn't I make it? Why didn't I take it right there?
The loneliest words you'll ever know.
"If only, if only it was so"
The emptiest words that they'll ever be.
"It could have been me. It could have been me"
You'll have to pay for it later.
If you don't get it when its going for free
Believe me! Believe me!
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste.
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
Its something that's always been so
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
And one of these nights your gonna show me that you already
know
There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even
gotten a taste
Its later than you think and a kiss is a terrible thing to
waste
You shouldn't tremble when we touch there's no reason for
these fears
Its a promise that was made.
We've been promised this for years I wanna show you it all
What to do where and how!
Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now.
WE'LL NEVER BE AS YOUNG AS WE ARE RIGHT NOW!
So many cries in the night that you try to ignore
Why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that?
So many unanswered prayers. So many unopened doors.
Why didn't I take it? Why didn't I make it come true?
The loneliest words you'll ever know:
"If only if only it was so"
The emptiest words that they'll ever be:
"It could have been me. It could have been me"
You'll have to pay for it later if you don't get it when
its going for free
Believe me! Believe me!
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste.
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste.
Its something that's always been so.
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste.
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste.
And one of these nights Im gonna show you that you already
know.
There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even
gotten a taste
Its later than you think and a kiss is a terrible thing to
waste!
Tire tracks and broken hearts that's all we're leaving
behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
Only matters what we're gonna find!
Tire tracks and broken hearts that's all we're leaving
behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
Only matters what we're gonna find!
Tire tracks and broken hearts that's all we're leaving
behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
Only matters what we're gonna find!
Tire tracks and broken hearts that's all we're leaving

i think tis a brill song 9not one of the best but its catchyn has a great change in tempo- sweet.....
tis a song abut young lovers runnin off into the night to start afresh away from all the heartache and pain that they've suffered in ther "jail" of bein kept apart.... awww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but its got an ace lil anthem at t end....:)
Tyre tracks n broken hearts, thats all we're leavin behind it doesn't matter what we're losin, only matters what we're goin to find..... AMEN! xxx
you said badlilfairy - it truly is awesome
This is from the musical "Whistle Down the Wind". It is actually two seperate songs. "Tire Tracks and Broken Hearts" is sung by Bonnie Tyler. Was a great show. Basically about a young girl who thinks Jesus is sleeping in her barn. Jim Steinman wrote the lyrics and Andrew Lloyd Webber the music.
Yes it's from Whistle down the wind and the songs ("A kiss is a terrible thing to waste" and "Tire tracks and broken hearts") are about breaking free from the adults and running away from the small home town. It is about broken dreams.
I love this song!!! Its definatly one of my favorites.
It's saying don't waste the chances you are given. Grab them while they are there otherwise you are going to regret never having taken them when you had the chance. Look to the future, not the past and don't get hung up on past failures.
