Lyrics
You came walking through the screen door
Bare feet on the kitchen floor
Sunlight hanging in your hair
Like it had been waiting there
I was talking like I knew it all
You just leaned against the wall
Smiled at me and shook your head
Then pulled me close and softly said
Sweet kisses
That’s all I need
No big promises
No guarantee
Sweet kisses
Slow and true
The whole wide world
Gets quiet with you
I don’t need heaven
I don’t need much
Just sweet kisses
And your touch
We’ve had days that ran too long
Nights when everything went wrong
Bills stacked high beside the phone
Two tired hearts in an old small home
But you can stop me in my tracks
With one hand resting on my back
And every worry that I’ve got
Falls away when your lips get soft
Sweet kisses
That’s all I need
No big promises
No guarantee
Sweet kisses
Slow and true
The whole wide world
Gets quiet with you
I don’t need heaven
I don’t need much
Just sweet kisses
And your touch
Some men chase a younger face
Some chase money, speed and praise
I’ve been far enough to know
What stays warm when the cold winds blow
It ain’t diamonds
It ain’t gold
It’s your hand
When the night turns cold
It’s the way you laugh
When I lose my way
And the way you kiss me
At the end of the day
Years have drawn their little lines
Around your eyes and into mine
But every time you pull me near
You look better than you did last year
Let the young ones run all night
Let them chase those city lights
I’ve got everything I want
Right here when the porch light’s on
Sweet kisses
That’s all I need
No grand occasion
No fancy scene
Sweet kisses
Slow and true
The whole wide world
Gets quiet with you
I don’t need heaven
I don’t need much
Just sweet kisses
And your touch
Sweet kisses
Morning and night
Sweet kisses
Making everything right
No big promise
No perfect plan
Just sweet kisses
From the woman who understands
Come here, baby
The night can wait
One more sweet kiss
Before it gets late.
