Cilla Black – This Kiss
From the counter

Faith Hill cut it first in 1998, but the song kept traveling: Cilla Black picked it up in 2003 and Alex Lahey in 2022. That is a co-write with legs, and Hill is the door to the rest of the shelf.

Annie Roboff's name sits on both "This Kiss" and "If My Heart Had Wings," so if you liked either one, she's the writer to follow. Put on the Cilla Black take first and hear how the song holds up without Faith.
