Lyrics

There’s a nectar that kindles my soul
That only you alone can brew,
And my heart is a blazing coal
When I dwell in the spell of you.

Warm as wine ev’ry kiss is as warm as wine
For the touch of your face on mine thrills me through
With your lips as warm as wine
And your eyes with their April sunshine

Ev’ry dream that I dare design call for you.
In the glow of the love I know
Burning moments sweep me,
Burning kisses keep me wanting even more than before!

Warm as wine
Is the flame at our sacred shrine.
May the love that is yours and mine
Stay warm as wine.

Warm as wine ev’ry kiss is as warm as wine
For the touch of your face on mine thrills me through
With your lips as warm as wine
And your eyes with their April sunshine

Ev’ry dream that I dare design call for you.
In the glow of the love I know
Burning moments sweep me,
Burning kisses keep me wanting even more than before!

Warm as wine
Is the flame at our sacred shrine.
May the love that is yours and mine
Stay warm as wine.
