From the film "Double Dynamite" (1949)
(Music: Julr Styne / Lyrics: Sammy Kahn)

Frank Sinatra & Jane Russell (Film Soundtrack) - 1949
Sinatra, Russell & The Modernaires (Record release) - 1950




As performed in the film "Double Dynamite":

FRANK:
Kisses and tears, that's all our love is
It's nothin' but kisses and tears
You don't seem to need the slightest reason
To chase the sunshine and bring on the rainy season

Kisses and tears, it's up to you
If we laugh or we cry through the years
Unless you trust me whenever a doubt appears
Your future with me will continue to be kisses and tears

JANE:
Kisses and tears, that's all our love is
It's nothin' but kisses and tears
When I kiss you, there is no reaction 
You're too busy with addition and subtraction

FRANK:
Kisses and tears, it's up to you
If we laugh or we cry through the years
Unless you trust me whenever a doubt appears
Your future with me will continue to be kisses and tears
JANE: Kisses and tears
BOTH: Kisses and tears

THE MODERNAIRES:
(There they go again, but they never break up)
(Every day a fight, and then they kiss and make up)

FRANK & JANE:
Kisses and tears, that's all our love is
It's nothing but kisses and tears
FRANK:
You don't seem to need the slightest reason
To chase that sunshine and bring on the rainy season

JANE:
Kisses and tears, it's up to you
If we laugh or we cry through the years
MODERNAIRES: (It's up to you)
FRANK: Unless you trust me whenever a doubt appears
BOTH: Your future with me will continue to be kisses and tears

FRANK:
You're crying again, you're sighing again
Can't we patch it up this time
I guess it's allright, we've finished our fight, and now
JANE: It's just about kiss-time

FRANK: You shouldn't be kissed, I oughta resist
JANE: Aaahhh! 
MODERNAIRES: (That's all their love is)
JANE: You're makin' me cry, you're makin' me sigh
FRANK: Ah, watsa matter, baby?

FRANK: You don't seem to need the slightest reason
MODERNAIRES:
(To chase the sunshine and bring on)
Bring on the rainy season)

FRANK:
Kisses and tears, it's up to you
If we laugh or we cry through the years
Unless you trust me whenever a doubt appears
BOTH: 
Your future with me will continue to be
Lovin' and cryin', continually
Our future will be just kisses and tears
MODERNAIRES: (Kisses, kisses, kisses and tears!)
