Johnny Cash Drink To Me Lyrics

Drink To Me Lyrics

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
