A Taste Of Honey
Beatles · Live at the BBC
Tasting much sweeter
Than wine.
I dream of your
First kiss and then
I feel upon
My lips again
A taste of honey
Tasting much sweeter
Than wine.
Oh, I will return.
Yes, I will return.
I'll come back
For the honey and you.
Yours was the kiss
That awoke my heart.
There lingers still,
Though we're far apart,
That taste of honey
Tasting much sweeter
Than wine.
I will return.
Yes, I will return.
I'll come back
For the honey
And you.
