Jeanette MacDonald – One Kiss lyrics
In this year of Seventeen-Ninety-Two
Our conventions have been thrown all askew
And I know I'm out of date when I seek one mate
One faithful lover true
To be really in the fashion today
You must have a dozen beaux in your sway
But somehow I don't believe in the modern plan
I want to wait for just one man
(It's more fun to love 'em all)
Kiss 'em all, short and tall)
I have another scheme
It's my only dream
One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow, and nothing more
To tell him I'm his own
One magic night within his arms
With passion's flower unfurled
And all my life I'll love only one man
And no other man in the world
(You've been reading stories of romantic glories)
(Are you growing sad for your Galahad?)
Soon my Knight may find me
Softly steal behind me
Put me on a horse
And carry me away
Laugh all you like at me
I'll find my man, you'll see
One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow, and nothing more
To tell him I'm his own
One magic night within his arms
With passion's flower unfurled
And all my life I'll love only one man
And no other man in the world
Our conventions have been thrown all askew
And I know I'm out of date when I seek one mate
One faithful lover true
To be really in the fashion today
You must have a dozen beaux in your sway
But somehow I don't believe in the modern plan
I want to wait for just one man
(It's more fun to love 'em all)
Kiss 'em all, short and tall)
I have another scheme
It's my only dream
One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow, and nothing more
To tell him I'm his own
One magic night within his arms
With passion's flower unfurled
And all my life I'll love only one man
And no other man in the world
(You've been reading stories of romantic glories)
(Are you growing sad for your Galahad?)
Soon my Knight may find me
Softly steal behind me
Put me on a horse
And carry me away
Laugh all you like at me
I'll find my man, you'll see
One kiss, one man to save it for
One love for him alone
One word, one vow, and nothing more
To tell him I'm his own
One magic night within his arms
With passion's flower unfurled
And all my life I'll love only one man
And no other man in the world
