Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

When I was a young man I'd never been kissed

I got to thinking 'bout what I had missed

I found a girl, I kissed her and then

Oh Lord, I kissed her again

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife

That 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

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife

Working hand in hand to make a good life

With corn in the fields and wheat in the bins, and then

Oh Lord, I was the father of twins

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, 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

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses

Now we are old and ready to go

Thinking 'bout what happened a long time ago

We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but

Oh Lord, we'd do it again

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Oh, kisses
