Lyrics

Kiss of Life (Single Version)

[Verse 1]

There must have been an angel by my side

Something heavenly led me to you

Look at the sky

It's the color of love

There must have been an angel by my side

Something heavenly came down from above

He led me to you

He led me to you

[Bridge]

He built a bridge to your heart

All the way

How many tons of love inside

I can't say

[Verse 2]

When I was led to you

I knew you were the one for me

I swear the whole world could feel my heartbeat

When I lay eyes on you

I-I-I-I-I

You wrap me up in

The color of love

[Chorus]

You gave me the kiss of life

Kiss of life

You gave me the kiss that's like

Kiss of life

[Post-Chorus]

I-I-I-I-I

[Verse 3]

Wasn't it clear

From the start?

Look the sky is full of love

Yeah the sky is full of love

[Chorus]

You gave me the kiss of life

Kiss of life

You gave me the kiss that's like

The kiss of life

You gave me the kiss of life

Kiss of life

You gave me the kiss that's like

The kiss of life

[Outro]

You wrapped me up in the color of love

In the moonlight, baby

It must have been an angel came down from above

Giving me love, yeah

Giving me love, yeah

You gave me the kiss of life

Kiss of life

You gave me the kiss of life
