A Taste Of Honey
The Beatles · Please Please Me (Remastered) [2009]
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.
A Taste Of Honey - The Beatles
Released on the 1957 album Please Please Me, 'A Taste Of Honey' stands as a quintessential example of The Beatles' early pop-rock sound. Recorded in London with producer George Martin, the track features the band's signature harmonies and a driving rhythm section that defined their emerging style. The song showcases John Lennon's melodic songwriting and Paul McCartney's bassline, capturing the optimism and youthful energy characteristic of the mid-1950s British Invasion. As one of their first major commercial releases, it helped establish the group's reputation for catchy, radio-friendly material while laying the groundwork for their future innovations in studio production and song structure.
