A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

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 I'm 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 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!

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.
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste.

Jim Steinman / Andrew Lloyd-Webber, 1998
