Johnny Cash — Drink to Me

[Chorus] Drink to me, drink to me Drink to me, drink to me Drink to me [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 2] So if you are going to drink to me, drink with your eyes And I will 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) Because 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 [Chorus]
