Johnny Cash Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes Lyrics

Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes Lyrics

Drink to me only with thine eyes

And I will pledge with mine.

Or
leave a kiss within the cup

And I'll not ask for wine.

The thirst
that from the soul doth rise

Doth ask a drink divine;

But might I
of Jove's nectar sip,

I would not change for thine.



I sent
thee late a rosy wreath,

Not so much hon'ring thee

As giving it a
hope that there

It could not withered be;

But thou thereon did'st
only breathe,

And sent'st it back to me,

Since when it grows and
smells, I swear

Not of itself, but thee.
