Sweet Cherry Wine
B.J. Thomas · Other Songs - B.J. Thomas
When I wake up in the morning feeling like
The night before
And the day comes crashing down around about the time
my feet hit the floor
There ain't nothing I know
Can fix me up fine
Like a little taste of lovin
Laced with sweet cherry wine
When I need a friend
And I recall that I ain't got a one
And I fell so doggone bored
Lord that dying sounds like it could be fun
There ain't nothing I know
Can get me in line
Like a little taste of lovin'
Laced with sweet cherry wine
I said hey
Hey
Nothing I know
Makes a body set up
Get up and go
I said hmmmmm
So sweet and so fine
When I'm going to pot
I don't need a lot
Just give me a shot of sweet cherry wine
I just can't do without it
Sweet cherry wine
There ain't no doubt about it
That nothing can warm up
With sweet cherry wine
Hmmmm
This cold heart of mine
Like a little taste of lovin'
I said sweet cherry wine
Sweet cherry wine
The night before
And the day comes crashing down around about the time
my feet hit the floor
There ain't nothing I know
Can fix me up fine
Like a little taste of lovin
Laced with sweet cherry wine
When I need a friend
And I recall that I ain't got a one
And I fell so doggone bored
Lord that dying sounds like it could be fun
There ain't nothing I know
Can get me in line
Like a little taste of lovin'
Laced with sweet cherry wine
I said hey
Hey
Nothing I know
Makes a body set up
Get up and go
I said hmmmmm
So sweet and so fine
When I'm going to pot
I don't need a lot
Just give me a shot of sweet cherry wine
I just can't do without it
Sweet cherry wine
There ain't no doubt about it
That nothing can warm up
With sweet cherry wine
Hmmmm
This cold heart of mine
Like a little taste of lovin'
I said sweet cherry wine
Sweet cherry wine
