IT STARTED WITH A KISS
Title song from the film "It Started With A Kiss" (1958)
(Music: Rudy Render / Lyrics: Charles Lederer)


Debbie Reynolds (Film Soundtrack) - 1959



It started with a kiss, and I was so naive
I couldn't make myself believe
A kiss more or less could matter
Then it was boom, New Year's Eve

It started with a kiss, like one I'd never had
He flipped me off my launchin' pad
If only I'd removed his fuses
But I forgot and I'm glad

Maybe love can never be based on
A mere physical attraction
But you know who my bet's placed on
And that boy's got part of my action

It started with a kiss, look out for kissing games
They're awfully dangerous for days
His lips were his only weapons
And I got shot down in flames

And it started with a (*kissing sounds*)
Yes, it started with a (*kiss sound*)
