A Taste Of Honey lyrics

A Taste Of Honey
Tony Bennett
Written by Ric Marlow and Bobby
Scott

Peaked at # 94 in 1964: his second song to get stuck at that level
in face of the surging British Invasion (see also "When Joanna Loved
Me")
Previously charted in 1962 by the Victor Feldman Quartet (# 88) and
Martin Denny & His
Orchestra (# 50)
Later charted by Herb Alpert & The
Tijuana Brass at # 7 in 1965


Winds may blow over the icy sea
I'll
take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than
wine

I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and
you

I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it e'er remind you
of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine

I will
return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you

He ne'er
came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His
kiss of honey
A taste more bitter than wine

I will return
I will
return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll come back for the honey
and you!
