Letra de Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes
The reason I wanna sing this next song Is because it has so many, and such a strong memories for me I can see me when I was 17 years old Standing in the end of the Dyess high school gimnasium At a senior class graduation, I was a junior at the time The next year I graduated But I was a junior and they called on me to sing a special They called it for the graduation, for the commitment exercises, so I'm sorry, but I don't remember my piano player's name It was a school teacher, she played a piano and I sang this songThis is... I guess this is when I was looking for myself But I never forgot it Because it was one of my first public singing occasions And I've sang this song mainly to myself Ever since I was 17 years old because of those memories I suppose this song is Elisabehean The words sound like King James version of the bibleDrink to me only with thine eyes And I will pledge with mine Or leave a kiss within the cup And I'll not ask for wineA thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine But might I of Jove's nectar sip I would not change for thineI sent thee late a rosy wreath Not so much hon'ring thee As giving it a hope that there It could not withered beBut thou thereon did'st only breathe And sent'st it back to me Since when it grows and smells, I swear Not of itself, but theeDrink to me only with thine eyes And I will pledge with mine Or leave a kiss within the cup And I'll not ask for wineThe thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine But might I of Jove's nectar sip I would not change for thine
