I Will Drink The Wine - Frank Sinatra

Someone said, drink the water

But I will drink the wine

Someone said, take a poor man

Rich don’t have a dime

Go fool yourselves if you will

I just haven’t got the time

Yes, you can drink the water

But I will drink the wine

Someone gave me some small flowers

I held it in my hand

Looked at them for several hours

I didn’t understand

Go fool yourselves if you will

You can hold out your hand

I’ll give you back your flowers

And I will take the land

And I will drink the wine

Sometimes I’m very, very lonely

There’s only me to care

And when I’m very, very lonely

I want someone to share

I’m gonna drink the wine

I’m gonna take my time

And believe in a world that is mine

Someone gave me flowers

I held it in my hand

Looked at them for many hours

Didn’t understand

Go and fool yourselves if you will

You can hold out your hand

I’ll give you back your flowers

And I will take the land

And I will drink the wine

And I will take the land

I will drink the wine
