KISSES SWEETER THAN WINE Oh, kisses sweeter than wine, Oh, kisses sweeter than wine, When I was a young man and never been kissed I got to thinking it over what I had missed. I got me a girl, I kissed her and then Oh Lord, I kissed her again. CHORUS I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife, And we would be so happy all of our life. I begged and I pleaded like a natural man, and then Oh Lord, she gave me her hand. CHORUS I worked mighty hard and so did my wife, Workin' hand in hand to make a good life. Corn in the field and wheat in the bins, I was Oh Lord, the father of twins. CHORUS Our children numbered just about four, And they all had sweethearts knockin' at the door. The all got married and didn't hesitate; I was Oh Lord, the grandfather of eight. CHORUS Now we are old, and ready to go, We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago. Had a lot of kids, trouble and pain, but, Oh Lord, we'd do it again. CHORUS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Words by Paul Campbell, music by Joel Newman.
