kisses sweeter than wine

when i was a young man i'd never been kissed;

i got to thinking about what i had missed. i found a girl. i kissed her and then. oh lord

i kissed her again. oooooh

kisses sweeter than wine. oooooh

kisses sweeter than wine. he asked me to marry and be his sweet wife;

we would be happy - all of our life. he begged and he pleaded like a natural man

and then. oh lord

i gave him my hand. oooooh

kisses sweeter than wine. oooooh

kisses. i worked mighty hard and so did my wife;

working hand in hand to make a good life. corn in the field and wheat in the bins

and then. oh lord

i was the father of twins. oooooh

kisses sweeter than wine. oooooh

kisses. our children numbered just about four

and they all had sweethearts knocking on the door. they all got married and they didn't wait

i was. oh lord! a grandmother of eight!

oooooh

kisses sweeter than wine. oooooh

kisses. now we are old and ready to go

thinking about what happened a long time ago. we had lots of kids and trouble and pain

but. oh lord

we'd do it again. oooooh

kisses sweeter than wine. oooooh

kisses. oooooh

kisses sweeter than wine. oooooh

kisses.
