[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I can tell by looking you're not mine, girl
I believe everything I told you was true
There’s a child here that wants to start livin'
Well, you know that this child will get its start
From me and you
[Pre Chorus]
(Close your eyes)
Now close your eyes
And don't you think of nothing
(Let your thoughts)
Let your thoughts remain here
Inside this room
(Lay your head)
Lay your head beside me on my pillow
And I will share this night with you
[Chorus]
(We must sip the wine)
Til it feels alright
(We must sip the wine)
Into the night
(We must sip the wine)
Together
We must sip the wine (x3)
[Guitar solo]
We must sip the wine (x5)
