Drink to me, drink to me
A rose, a carnation, a lily and an orchid
Then you took the orchid and you breathed on its petals
So if you're gonna drink to me, drink with your eyes
'Cause I've got a thirst burning way down in my throat
Return to Johnny Cash lyrics.
drink to me, drink to me
drink to me
make such a pretty bouquet
but only the orchid was worthy of you
so I threw all the others away
and after a day or two
the flower still blooms, but the scent's not the orchid's
it carries the savour of you
and I'll never ask for wine
or leave a kiss in an empty coffee cup
then pass it from your lips to mine
and honey from a sugar tree
is not half as sweet as the air that you breathe
honey come here and drink to me
