I want to lay down beside you I want to hold your body close to mine Like a grape that grows ripe in the sunshine There comes a time when we must sip the wine I can tell by lookin ... that you're not mine girl I believe everything I told you was true There's a child here that wants to start livin And you know that this child will get it's start from me and you Close your eyes ... and don't you think of nothing Let your thoughts remain here inside this room Lay your head beside me on my pillow And I will share this night with you We must sip the wine ... till it feels alright We must sip the wine ... into the night We must sip the wine ... together ...
