kiss her once for me

ever since the day she left

she never left my mind

i see the tears on her sweet face

from when we said goodbye

but some things in this life

are just not meant to be

when you're holding her tonight

kiss her once for me

i say goodnight again to a picture in a frame

knowing all that we once had will

never be the same

and there's a part of her life i won't

be there to see

when you're holding her tonight

kiss her once for me

i may never understand just how

it all went wrong

though you say it's for the best

my baby's gone

don't you ever forget to give her

all the love she needs

when you hold my little girl

tonight

kiss her once for me

i may never understand just how it

all went wrong

though you say it's for the best

still my baby's gone

don't you ever forget to give her

all the love she needs

when you hold my little girl tonight

when you tuck her into bed tonight

if she cuddles up to you tonight

kiss her once for me
