Last Summer's Wine

I can just see us

Working up and down a fence row

Fragrance from the morning rain

Still clinging to the weeds

Buckets full of berries

Hearts as light as feathers

Making our way to the shade of a sycamore tree

It's like we hit the jackpot

Of mother nature's bounty

Life was ripe for the picking and we did

Something told us to hold onto

That moment in time

So we set about making

Last summer's wine

Two young lovers

Swept away in life's rivers

Those green meadows

Are so far away now

But January's heartless cold

And the loneliness of missing you

Were enough to make me want to take that bottle on down

Sometimes I wonder

If there'll never be another

July hotter than the one we shared

Ain't it funny how memories

Grow sweeter with time?

Tonight I'm craving

Last summer's wine

I see us kissing in the kitchen

Laughing like crazy

Stirring in the honey

And water from the well

Ain't it funny how memories

Grow sweeter with time?

Here's to you and me

And last summer's wine

I can still taste your lips

In last summer's wine
