Wine & Roses

Bring me wine and bring me roses Bring me silver, bring me gold Bring me milk, and bring me honey from the hill Bring a story never told Send regards to all the people that I knew Lovers lost and forlorn friends May the evening sun be always at their back The road to meet them, may it bend Oooh to walk away as always afraid When you've only known a thrill But in the valley of the shadows and time Stand beside it, stand beside it Now I've been taught a thing or two along the way The road can eat you up alive Set aside your pride just to beg and borrow In a struggle to survive Sound and fury comes at midnight With the tolling of the chimes Those before us saw the writing on the wall Knowing how to read the signs That pointed to the near horizon In the language of the heart See the last thread as it ties in A sum that's greater than its parts Oooh to walk away as always afraid When you've only known a thrill But in the valley of the shadows and time Stand beside it, stand beside it Bring me wine and bring me roses
