A Fond Kiss lyrics

A Fond Kiss

(Robert Burns poem / Live on Peel Acres 01-22-04)

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 cheerfu` twinkle lights me
Dark despair around benights me

I`ll ne`er 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 lov`d say kindly
Had we never lov`d say blindly

Never met – or never parted
We had ne`er 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
