Lyrics

1. You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long ago
And each one has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune
Then you've left her to hunt a new game
Does it ever occur to you later my boy
That she's probably doing the same?

Chorus
I wonder who's kissing her now, wonder who's teaching her now
Wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies
I wonder who's buying the wine, for lips that I used to call mine
Wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now

2. If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear
So you never can tell who is kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year
