The song "Sealed with a Kiss" by Brian Hyland is a romantic ballad about a couple who must say goodbye for the summer but promises to keep their love alive through letters. The lyrics express the loneliness they will feel without each other, but the hope that their love will endure. The singer pledges to send his love and dreams to his darling through his letters, which will be sealed with a kiss. The song highlights the sorrow of being apart from someone you love but emphasizes how love can transcend distance and time. The story behind the song is that Brian Hyland's manager, after hearing a spoken-word message from a friend who ended the call with "sealed with a kiss," suggested Hyland write a song with that title. The song was released in 1962 and became a hit, reaching number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It has since become a classic love song that continues to resonate with generations.
