A Taste Of Honey
Beatles · Please please me
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.

Its inclusion on the first Beatles album marked a pivotal moment in rock history, showcasing their ability to blend traditional pop structures with emerging rock energy. The recording remains a foundational piece in the canon of 1960s music, reflecting the optimism and youthful spirit of the era.
