Johnny Cash - Drink To Me lyrics

rate me

(Drink to me drink to me drink to me drink to me drink to me)

A rose a carnation the lily and an orchid make such a pretty bouquet

But only the orchid was worthy of you so I threw all the others away

Then you took the orchid and you breathed on its petals and after a day or two

The flower still blooms but it scents not the orchids it carries the savor of you

(Drink to me drink to me drink to me drink to me drink to me)

So if you're gonna drink to me drink with your eyes and I'll never cry for wine

Or leave a kiss in an empty coffee cup then pass it from your lips to mine

Cause 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 drink to me drink to me

(Drink to me drink to me drink to me drink to me drink to me)
