Lyrics
Southern sky painted crimson and gold
Glass in my hand, stars beginnin' to show
Fireflies dancin', but not like your eyes
When you pulled me close under twilight skies
That bottle from the ridge above the bay
Never got me half as warm as your lips did that day
You're sweeter than my wine
Warmer than July
You kissed me slow like honey drippin'
Took my breath without even sippin'
Oh baby, every time
You're sweeter than my wine
Didn't need no fancy crystal glass
Just your hands pullin' me in fast
That vintage red I've been savin' so long
One taste of you and it all went wrong
'Cause you made me dizzy before the second glass
Got me intoxicated with every laugh
Bottles run dry, sunsets fade
But your taste, boy, it stays
You aged just right, no barrel could hold you
Like velvet on my tongue, the way you move through
My veins like the finest red
Leavin' thoughts spinnin' in my head
You're sweeter than my wine
Warmer than July
You kissed me slow like honey drippin'
Took my breath without even sippin'
Oh baby, every time
You're sweeter than my wine
I sipped that red, but you poured over me
Smooth like velvet, wild and free
I drank you in with every word you whispered
Your Southern drawl got me all blistered
They say good taste comes with time
But honey I knew you were sweeter than my wine
Tastes like trouble, smooth like sin
Sweeter than my wine...
Sweeter than my wine...
