Sealed With A Kiss Lyrics

Though weve got to say goodbye for the summer
Darling, I promise you this
I’ll send you all my love everyday in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
Yes it’s gonna be a cold, lonely summer
But I’ll fill the emptiness
I’ll send you all my dreams everyday in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
I’ll see you in the sunlight
I’ll hear your voice everywhere
I’ll run to tenderly hold you
But darling you wont be there
I don’t want to say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love well miss
Oh, let us make a pledge to meet in september
And seal it with a kiss
Yes, it’s gonna be a cold, lonely summer
But I’ll fill the emptiness
I’ll send you all my dreams everyday in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss
