AND THE WINE GETS BETTER ALL THE TIME, M'LADY
Album : Down By The Old Stream
(Artie Kaplan / Arthur Kornfeld)
Artie Kaplan


And the wine gets better all the time m'lady
And the wine gets better all of the time

A fine silver saddle to wear on your pony
The pony I promised to buy you someday
Oh you'll ride through the meadow, right up to our farmhouse
The farmhouse I promised to build you someday

Chorus
And the wine gets better all the time m'lady
And the wine gets better all the time
And the wine gets nearer all the time m'lady
And the wine gets dearer all of the time

You say I wonder as we see them walkin'
You say they're younger, I whisper you're fine
You say I hunger the grapes ripe for pickin'
I say the good ones are not on the vine

Repeat Chorus

Oh I had a dream that we traveled together
Over a rainbow way up in the sky
You are beside me and the angels are singin'
It's not the first time, but it's still divine

In essence, he wrote this for his wife telling her that he knew he hadn't done all the things he had promised her, but she was still the only woman in his life...D
