But the smiles of love are the sweetest of all.

There’s the kiss sweet-blown from the finger tips,

The kiss of good-bye when the tear-drops fall;

There’s the kiss of a cherishing mother’s lips,

But the kiss of love is the sweetest of all.

There are songs that sing in a minor key,

And songs that the listening heart appall;

There are songs that sing like the constant sea,

But the songs of love are the sweetest of all.
