Kiss Me, by Sixpence None the Richer

Lyrics

[Verse]
Kiss me out of the bearded barley,
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

[Chorus]
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling
So kiss me

[Verse]
Kiss me down by the broken treehouse
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

[Chorus]
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling
So kiss me

[Outro]
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
