A Fond Kiss
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Voice Squad



A fond kiss, and then we sever
A farewell, and then forever! 
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him 
While the star of hope she leaves him? 
Me, nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me
Dark despair around benights me
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy
Nothing could resist my Nancy
But to see her was to love her
Love but her, and love forever 
Had we never lov'd say kindly 
Had we never lov'd say blindly
Never met -- or never parted -- 
We had ne'er been broken-hearted
Fare thee well, thou first and fairest! 
Fare thee well, thou best and dearest! 
Thine be like a joy and treasure 
Peace. enjoyment, love, and pleasure! 
A fond kiss, and then we sever
A farewell, alas, forever! 
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee!
