Chorus:
Drink to me, drink to me
Drink to me, drink to me
Drink to me
A rose, a carnation, the lily and an orchid
Make such a pretty bouquet (drink to me, drink to me)
But only the orchid was worthy of you
So I threw all the others away
(drink to me, drink to me)
Then you took the orchid and
you breathed on its petals
And after a day or two
The flower still blooms but the scent's
not the orchids
It carries the savor of you
chorus
So if you are going to drink to me,
drink with your eyes
And I will never cry for wine
(Drink to me, drink to me)
Or leave a kiss in an empty
coffee cup then pass it from your lips to mine
(Drink to me, drink to me)
Because I've got a thirst burning way
down in my soul
And honey from a sugar tree
Is not half as sweet as the air that you breathe
Honey come here and drink to me
chorus
