Kisses Sweeter Than Wine lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinking over what I had missed
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then
Oh Lord, I kissed her again

[Chorus]
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 2]
I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife
And we would be so happy the rest of our lives
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
And then, oh Lord, she gave me her hand

[Chorus]
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 3]
I worked mighty hard and so did my wife
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life
With corn in the field and wheat in the bins
I was, oh Lord, the father of twins
[Chorus]
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 4]
Our children they numbered just about four
They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door
They all got married and they didn't hesitate
I was, oh Lord, the grandmother of eight

[Chorus]
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

[Verse 5]
Now that we're old and ready to go
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
We had a lotta kids, trouble and pain
But then, oh Lord, we'd do it again

[Chorus]
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine
