As recorded by TERESA BREWER:

How Important can it be
That I've tasted other lips
That was long before you came to me
With the wonder of your kiss**

So the story got around
Of an old romance and me
But it happened, oh, so long ago
How important can it be

Mine was a young and a foolish heart
Seeking love at ev'ry turn
But I have grown so much wiser now
Even foolish hearts can learn

Let the past just fade away
Why get lost in yesterday
The important thing is here and now
And our love is here to stay

Oh, mine was a young and a foolish heart
Seeking love at ev'ry turn
But I have grown so much wiser now
Even foolish hearts can learn

Let the past just fade away
Why get lost in yesterday
The important thing is here and now
And our love is here to stay, to stay
Our love is here to stay


**Joni James sang this line as "With the magic of your kiss"
