Stolen Kisses

Stolen Kisses
I leave for work early in the morning.
Long before the sun will rise.
I kiss her lips so softly. She always smiles.
But she never opens her eyes.

Stolen kisses while you sleep
Stolen kisses always taste sweet.
The memory lingers the whole day through.
Stolen kisses in the dark.
Stolen kisses straight from the heart.
Girl you know I only steal kisses from you.

Sunday evening I was watchin’ a ball game.
And I must have dozed off in my easy chair.
I felt her warm, sweet breath and heard her gentle laughter.
I didn’t have to look to know she was there.
And she said

Stolen kisses while you sleep
Stolen kisses always taste sweet.
The memory lingers the whole day through.
Stolen kisses in the dark.
Stolen kisses straight from the heart.
Boy you know I only steal kisses from you.

Somewhere in the middle of the night last night
Our little girl snuck into our room.
She gave me her best fish kiss
And said “Did I wake you, Daddy?”
“I did not mean to.”
“Sometimes, little girls steal kisses, too.”

Stolen kisses while you sleep
Stolen kisses always taste sweet.
The memory lingers the whole night through.
Stolen kisses in the dark.
Stolen kisses straight from the heart.
Daddy you know I only steal kisses from you.
