(Michelle’s) Kisses Are Sweeter Than Wine

I kept some of the original words because they’re just too good.

To the tune of “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine” a popular song from 1950 by Pete Seeger and Lee Hays of The Weavers, and recorded by Jimmie Rodgers.

Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

Well, when I was a young man I’d never been kissed;
I got to thinking it over, how much I had missed.

When I met Michelle I gave her a kiss, and then;
Oh Lord, I kissed her again.

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine.
She had, mm-mm kisses sweeter than wine.

I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife;
I told her we’d be happy for the rest of our life. 

I begged and I pleaded even played pac-man and then;
Oh Lord, she gave me her hand.

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine.
She had, mm-mm kisses sweeter than wine.

We worked mighty hard both me and my wife.
We worked hand in hand to have a good life. 

We laughed and we played and FELT ALIVE, and then;
Oh Lord, a party of five!

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine.
She had, mm-mm kisses sweeter than wine.

We have a good life without too much strife.
We often head out to enjoy the nightlife.

The North Mountain Inn is where we hang out, because;
Oh, Lord! It’s really far out.

Kisses are sweeter than wine.
She has, mm-mmm kisses sweeter than wine.

Now we are old and ready to go.
Thinking about what happened a long time ago.

We had our share of trouble and pain, but;
Oh Lord, I’d do it all again.

Because she has kisses sweeter than wine.
She has, mm-mm kisses sweeter than wine.
