The Wisdom of Kisses Lyrics

Kisses are a better fate
Than wisdom will ever be
I was left to wonder
‘Til e. e. spoke to me

He says that "feeling is first"
And suggests I be a fool
While spring is in the world

If I could know
That his wisdom is for me
He swears by all the flowers
And says …

The best gestures of my brain
Could never really help me
To learn to wholly kiss you
But don't cry for me

Cause I'll feel all this wisdom
Of his loving poetry
Before the end of my summer

If I could know
That his wisdom is for me
I'd swear by all the flowers
And say don't cry for me
Don't cry for me, don't cry for me
Don't cry for me

Do your eyelids flutter for me
As you lean back in my arms
Please laugh and don't cry
I will learn to heed my song
I will learn to heed my song

If I could know
That his wisdom is for me
I'd swear by all the flowers and say
Don't cry

If I could know
That his wisdom is for me
I'd swear by all the flowers and say
Don't cry ... Don't cry for me.
I said don't cry
