Frank Sinatra Lyrics - I Will Drink the Wine

Frank Sinatra - I Will Drink the Wine

Someone said "drink the water"
But I will drink the wine
Someone said, take a poor man
Rich don't have a dime
Go fool yourselves if you will
I just haven't got the time
Yes you can drink the water (I will drink the water)
But I will drink the wine

Someone gave me some small flowers (ooh)
I held them in my hand (ooh)
I looked at them for several hours (ooh)
I didn't understand

Go fool yourselves if you will (ooh)
You can hold out your hand
I'll give back your flowers (give you back your flowers)
And I will take the land
And I will drink the wine

Sometimes I'm very very lonely
There's only me to care
And when I'm very very lonely
I want someone to share
I'm going to drink the wine
I'm gonna take my time
And believe in a world that is mine

Someone gave me flowers (ooh-ooh)
Held them in my hand (ooh)
Looked at them for many hours (ooh)
Didn't understand

Go on and fool yourselves if you will (ooh)
You can hold out your hand
I'll give back your flowers (give you back your flowers)
And I will take the land
And I will drink the wine
And I will take the land
I will drink the wine
