Tell me how many times a day you kissed, and I'll say if it was enough.
Four hundred.
Not enough.”

“It would take a miracle,
But someday maybe I'll find
That I'm in the loving arms of someone
That I'll know, know he's the someone
Who'll kiss all the heartache away,
And come that day
I won't mind losing you.”
