Johnny Cash - Drink to Me lyrics
[Johnny Cash - Drink to Me lyrics]
Drink to me, drink to me drink to me
A rose, a carnation
The lily and an orchid make
Such a pretty bouquet
(Drink to me, drink to me)
But only the orchid was worthy of you
So I threw all the others away
(Drink to me, drink to me)
Then you took the orchid and
You breathed on it's petals
And after a day or two
The flower still blooms but the
Scent's not the orchids
It carries the savor of you
So if you are going to drink to me
Drink with your eyes
And I will never cry for wine
(Drink to me, drink to me)
Or leave a kiss in an empty coffee cup
Then pass it from your lips to mine
(Drink to me, drink to me)
Because I've got a thirst burning
Way down in my soul
And honey from a sugar tree
Is not half as sweet as
The air that you breathe
Honey come here and drink to me
