Kisses Sweeter than Wine - Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt

Jackson:

When I was a young man I’d never been kissed;

I got to thinking about what I had missed.

I found a girl.

I kissed her and then…

Oh Lord, I kissed her again.

Together:

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

Bonnie:

He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife;

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.

Together:

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

Oooooh, kisses…

Jackson:

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife;

Working hand in hand to make a good life.

Corn in the field and wheat in the bins, and then…

Oh Lord, I was the father of twins.

Together:

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

Oooooh, kisses…

Bonnie:

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!

Together:

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

Oooooh, kisses…

Jackson:

Now we are old and ready to go Thinking about what happened a long time ago.

Bonnie:

We had lots of kids and trouble and pain, but…

Oh Lord, we’d do it again.

Together:

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

Oooooh, kisses…

Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

Oooooh, kisses…
