The Gentleman, the Lady, and a bottle of wine
The Gentleman, the Lady, and a bottle of wine
Verse 1
Twas a late September on an autumn day, the sky was almost gray
A strange woman slowly approached me. She had something to say
She said she’d give me 3 wishes if I gave her 3 kisses and my bottle of Golden Chardonnay
I looked in her eye, as I thought up my reply, all I had to say...
Change 1
Was I’m glad you came by, but what you got I want from you for free
So mystic lady, who knows maybe you and I may see...
Chorus
Sunny days on our horizon, a smiling face, can make a memory
Verse 2
“There is no telling of what the future may bring” this the lady did say
With a look in her eye telling me not to pry then she pushed her cart away
Sometimes I wonder if I were a bit younger all the rhythm and blues I’d play,
If I gave her the kisses and I used up the wishes; to form a band that day.
Change 2
I have my memory, mystic lady, you gave it to me for free
So mystic lady, who knows maybe, you and I may see…
Chorus
Sunny days on our horizons a smiling face, can make a memory
Verse 3
I’ve heard the thunder on a stormy night; I’ve watched the sun shine through
I’ve seen hatred in my own two eyes; I’ve seen some love there too
And if tomorrow may bring many more challenging things I’ll do what I must do
Wait by the door, with a bottle to pour Golden Chardonnay for two.
Instrumental
Chorus
Sunny days on our horizons a smiling face, can make a memory
