Dandelion Wine

Ron Sexsmith

And when I think of her

It's with the warmest thoughts

I took so much from her

I really learned a lot

How to dust off my heart

How to make it shine

How to take a field of dandelions

And make dandelion wine



Such sweet and simple days

Though bitter tasted the wine

We drank it anyway

For love had made it fine

When the world was young

When the road was bright

And the morning poured

Its golden light

Like dandelion wine



Oh I believed in us

Long before deceit and lust

Had lost the trust

Forgive me girl

Forgive me girl



Now when I sing to you

It's with a heavy heart

I took a love that was true

And tore it all apart

How can I let go

Of all those times?

With this memory

Of her hand in mine

And dandelion wine



And dandelion wine
