Story Behind The Song

Inspired by the movie, Letters to Juliet, I went home and penned this song imagining how the lead character felt when she didn't think she had feelings for someone until he kissed her. I think t is amazing how a single kiss can mean so much.

Song Description

The first kiss is such a special momnet. the first kiss of a budding relationship. the first kiss after being pronounced man and wife. the first kiss from your child.

Lyrics

You Kissed Me

You're kinda cute didn't knock me over D Am
Not sure what it is but I like your smile B/D G Am

Didn't think we had anything in common D Am
Can't seem to get you off my mind B/D G Am

I was ready to walk away find somebody new G F# AD
Then something happened right out of the blue G AC#E

You kissed me D
You turned my world around Am
You kissed me B/D
My feet just left the ground G
In an instant everything I knew about love D Am B/D
Came crashing down G
OOOH OOOH OOOH OOOH-OOOH F#AD G AC#E
You kissed me. D

A diamond ring You're down on your knee
I said yes You know I will

Family and friends We said I do
Let's seal it with a kiss My heart won't stand still

I looked into your eyes It felt just like the first time
You took me in your arms and pressed your lips up next to mine and...

You kissed me
You turned my world around
You kissed me
My feet just left the ground
In an instant you and me
Man and wife a family
OOOH OOOH OOOH OOOH-OOOH
You kissed me. (musical turn)

Three years later standing in her crib
Reaching out to me she puckered up those pretty lips
And pressed them to my cheek and...

She kissed me
She turned my world around
She kissed me
My feet just left the ground
In an instant everything I knew about love
Came crashing down (lift)

When you kiss me, you turn my world around, When you kiss me, My feet just leave the ground.
In an instant everything I know 'bout love comes crashing down OOOh, OOOh OOOh OOOh OOOh
You kissed me
I love it when you kiss me
