Analysis of Kiss of life
Your lips on mine, sweet kiss of life,
a kiss of bliss that opened my eyes.
I was drowning in darkness, there was no light,
your kiss gave me the will to fight.
The warmth of your smile rescued me
my demon's fled, you set me free.
Sweet kiss of life, sweet love of mine,
I'll love you 'till the end of time.
You swept me off my feet
you made my life complete.
You breathed life into me
you awakened me.
