"Drink To Me" lyrics

Drink To 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
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 its petals
And after a day or two
The flower still blooms
But the scent's 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
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

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
