Don't save your kisses, pass them around
You'll find my reason is logically sound
Who's gonna know that you passed them around
A hundred years from today
Why crave a penthouse that's fit for a Queen
You're nearer Heaven on Mother Earth's green
If you had millions, what would they all mean
A hundred years from today
So laugh and sing, make love the thing
Be happy while you may
There's always one beneath the Sun
Who's bound to make you feel that way
The Moon is shining and that's a good sign
Cling to me, Baby, say you'll be mine
Remember, Darling, we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today
(Orchestral Break)
Remember, Darling, we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today
A hundred years from today
