Like Water Into Wine

Patty Loveless · Long Stretch of Lonesome [1997]

(Gretchen Peters)



Baby, open up that bottle

Come and lay down by my side

I don't have no special reason

Just this ache I feel inside.



I wanna lose my inhibitions

I wanna lose those words we said

I wanna drink my fill of you babe

Let it go right to my head.



Tonight, I wanna hold you

I wanna look into your eyes

I wanna watch these broken dreams

Turn into memories

Just like water baby

Just like water into wine.



Don't wanna think about tomorrow

Don't wanna count my last regrets

I can't hate you anymore babe

I can't love you any less.



Sometimes I've been unfaithful

Sometimes you were unkind

But all the pain and sorrow

And all the bitter tears

They're just water baby

Just water into wine.



--- Instrumental ---



So baby, open up that bottle

Come and lay down by my side

I can't think of one good reason

We should not be satisfied.



Tonight I wanna hold you

I wanna look into your eyes

I wanna watch these broken dreams

Turn into memories

Just like water baby

Just like water into wine.



We're just like water baby

Like water into wine...
