As Sweet As Wine

Strummed my guitar along the way

the chorus echoing our lovely cheer

the village sung, the people’s voice

was heard in all towns that were near

I saw a girl, that walked the road

under the trees that gave her shade

she quickly turned, my heart then slowed,

I thought, “my God, is this my fate?”

She asked to sing a little more

as if I’d pleased her with my voice

so my guitar I picked back up

and with a smile she gave me joy

She said ‘hello’, I said ‘quite right,

for a goodbye is not in sight’,

between some songs, some notes and rhymes,

we drank some love as sweet as wine
