Kiss of life!
Rub that line above the sand
I can see you closer
Closer than you´ll ever be
Rub that line above the sand
I know you think it´s over
Staring out into the sea
Don´t let go this could be so perfect.
Don´t let go if we hold onto it
Rub that line above the sand
Right before the tide comes
Washes you away from me
Oooooh kiss of life (2x)
Could you wave goodbye to sun?
The sea the stars the waves the tide?
The wails inside that life has died.
But all you need is a kiss of life
Rub that line out of the sky
I can feel the night crawl
A broken drum and tambourine
Rub that line out of the sky
I can see the clouds form
Taking shape in front of me
Don´t let go this could be so easy
Don´t let go if you hold on to me
Rub that line out of the sky
Right before the sun falls
Oooooooh Kiss of life (2x)
Kiss of life
Could you wave goodbye to sun?
The sea the stars the waves the tide?
The wails inside that life has died
But all you need is a kiss of life
Could you wave goodbye to sun?
The sea the stars the waves the tide?
The wails inside that life has died
But all you need is a kiss of life
Oooooooh Kiss of life (2x)
Kiss of life
A thousand butterflies your lips to mine
(repeat 3x)
Kiss of life
