Jackson Browne - Kisses Sweeter Than Wine lyrics

(performed by jackson browne and bonnie raitt on the pete seeger tribute album where have all the flowers gone;1998)

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 lordI kissed her again.

Together:

Ooooohkisses sweeter than wine.

Ooooohkisses 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 manand then...

Oh lordI gave him my hand.

Together:

Ooooohkisses sweeter than wine.

Ooooohkisses...

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 binsand then...

Oh lordI was the father of twins.

Together:

Ooooohkisses sweeter than wine.

Ooooohkisses...

Bonnie:

Our children numbered just about four

And they all had sweethearts knocking on the door.

They all got married and they didn't waitI was...

Oh lord! a grandmother of eight!

Together:

Ooooohkisses sweeter than wine.

Ooooohkisses...

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 painbut...

Oh lordwe'd do it again.

Together:

Ooooohkisses sweeter than wine.

Ooooohkisses...

Ooooohkisses sweeter than wine.

Ooooohkisses...
