A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste (meat Loaf) Lyrics - Bonnie Tyler

(Andrew Lloyd Webber/ Jim Steinman) 

Producer for Meatloaf & Bonnie: Jim Steinman 

Recorded in 1998 as part of the 'Songs from Whistle Down The Wind' Project. Bonnie duets with Meatloaf on a reprise of 'Tire Tracks and Broken Hearts' at the end of the song. The lyrics are from careful listening. 

(Ooh If only, Ooh If only) 

If you listen to the night you can hear the darkness fall 

I can barely stand the wait, I can barely stand at all 

Come on closer to me now, like we're sharing the same skin 

We gotta get out of this jail, we gotta let the future in 

So many things in your life that you're bound to regret 

Why didn't I do that? Why didn't I do this? 

So many chances you've lost that you never forget 

Why didn't I make it? Why didn't I take it right then?

The loneliest words you'll ever know if only, if only it was so 

The emptiest words that there'll ever be 

It could've been me, it could've been me 

The loneliest words you'll ever know if only, if only it was so 

The emptiest words that there'll ever be 

It could've been me, it could've been me 

You'll have to pay for it later 

If you don't get it while it's going for free 

Believe me, believe me 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

It's something that's always been so 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

And one of these nights I'm gonna show you that you already know 

There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste 

It's later than you think and a kiss is a terrible thing to waste

You shouldn't tremble when they touch there's no reason for these fears 

It's a promise that was made, we've been promised this for years 

I want to show you it all, what to do and where and how 

'Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now 

Never be as young as we are right now 

So many cries in the night that you try to ignore 

Why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that? 

So many un-answered prayers, so many un-opened doors 

Why didn't I take it? why didn't I make it come true? 

The loneliest words you'll ever know if only, if only it was so 

The emptiest words that there'll ever be 

It could've been me, it could've been me 

The loneliest words you'll ever know if only, if only it was so 

The emptiest words that there'll ever be 

It could've been me, it could've been me 

You'll have to pay for it later 

If you don't get it while it's going for free 

Believe me, believe me 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

It's something that's always been so 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

And one of these nights I'm gonna show you that you already know 

There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste 

It's later than you think and a kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste 

It's later than you think and a kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind 

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find 

Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind 

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find 

Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind 

(Let's get away from the past) 

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find 

(So many ways to go fast) 

Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind 

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find 

Tire tracks and broken hearts, that's all we're leaving behind 

It doesn't matter what we lose, it only matters what we're going to find 

There's a feast waiting for you and you've never even gotten a taste 

It's later than you think and a kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste 

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
