Aspects of Love movie - Hand Me the Wine and the Dice lyrics

<br>

GIULIETTA:<br>

George was an original man.<br>

He did not want to change human life.<br>

He rejoiced in the way we are made.<br>

He rejoiced in the way we are made.<br>

He did not look forward to heaven --<br>

He was happy with the earth.<br>

He loved and understood<br>

The flesh, food, wine, love...<br>

He lived for today and firmly believed:<br>

<br>

If death were given a voice,<br>

That voice would scream through the sky:<br>

Live while you may for I am coming...<br>

<br>

So...<br>

<br>

Hand me the wine and the dice,<br>

I want my carnival now,<br>

While I have thirst and lust for living!<br>

<br>

So gather all you can reap,<br>

Before you're under the plough --<br>

The hand of death is unforgiving!<br>

<br>

Hand me the wine and the dice,<br>

While there are grapes on the vine --<br>

Life is a round of endless pleasures!<br>

<br>

The end is always in sight,<br>

But it tastes better with wind --<br>

Why pay your life in tiny measures?<br>

<br>

Hand me the wine and the dice,<br>

The time is racing away --<br>

There's not a taste that's not worth trying!<br>

<br>

And if tommorow it ends,<br>

I won't have wasted today --<br>

I will have lived like I am dying.<br>

<br>
