Gary Lewis & The Playboys were right in the thick of it, churning out hit after hit, and "Sealed With A Kiss" was arguably their biggest. But what makes it so special?

The Sweetest Goodbye Song Ever?

Let's be honest, nobody really likes saying goodbye. It's a bummer! But "Sealed With A Kiss" manages to make even that bittersweet moment sound… well, almost joyful. The lyrics tell the story of a summer romance coming to an end. They're saying goodbye, but promising to keep the love alive and reunite when summer returns.

"Though we gotta say goodbye for the summer…" Ah, the teenage angst! But then… "I promise you this, I'll send you all my love, every day in a letter, sealed with a kiss." Isn't that just adorable?

Seriously, who wouldn’t want to receive a letter sealed with a kiss? (Okay, maybe not literally sealed... that might get a bit messy!) It’s the sentiment that counts, right? A little bit of romance and a whole lot of promise. That’s the magic of this song.
