Little glass of wine
It's a good thing you're here
You're warm on my lips
As warm as a tear
A comfort to the fool
Who is restless in his mind
The lover's trusty potion:
Little glass of wine
Little glass of wine
You're oil on my flame
You shy of the sunlight
Hiding your shame
And the many, many tears
Oh, the number is sublime
Shall stain a woman's bosom
With a little glass of wine
As soon as you learn
That you don't live forever
You'll grow fond of the fruit of the vine
So, here is to you
And here is to me
And here's to the ones we left behind
Little glass of wine
It sure makes the party gay
It will seal a lover's bargain
It will chase your blues away
So, if you're feeling low
And you want to rest your mind
Well, just run and fetch another
Little glass of wine
Yeah, run and fetch me another
A little glass of wine
