Strawberries, cherries, and an angel’s kiss in spring –  
My summer wine is really made from all these things.  
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time,  
And I will give to you summer wine…  
Ooo, mmm. summer wine.

_Summer Wine_ — Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood

Drink to me, drink to my health,  
You know I don’t drink any more.

Once upon a time there was a tavern  
Where we used to raise a glass or two  
Remember how we laughed away the hours  
Think of all the great things we would do

There is a tavern in the town, in the town,  
And there my dear love sits him down, sits him down,  
And drinks his wine 'mid laughter free,  
And never, never thinks of me.

Don’t forget me when I’m gone  
My heart would break  
I have loved you for so long  
It’s all I can take

A fool will lose tomorrow  
Reaching back for yesterday  
I won’t turn my head in sorrow  
If you should go away

I’ll stand here and remember  
Just how good it’s been  
And I know I’ll never love this way again

Hold on, nothing’s the same, tell me why I feel this way  
Life wouldn’t be worth living without you  
All along I’ve been the pretender but now that’s gone forever, yeah  
Nobody’s ever loved me like you do, nobody’s broken through

Oh-oh, yes I’m the great pretender  
Pretending that I’m doing well  
My need is such I pretend too much  
I’m lonely but no one can tell

Now if there’s a smile on my face  
It’s only there trying to fool the public  
But when it comes down to fooling you  
Now honey that’s quite a different subject

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?  
Leading you down into my core, where I’ve become so numb  
Without a soul, my spirit’s sleeping somewhere cold  
Until you find it there and lead it back home

Would you rescue me?  
Would you get my back?  
Would you take my call when I start to crack?

When I need your love, if I need your help  
Would you rescue me? Ahh
