Bottles of Wine

I was having a drink in a smoky bar,

when I noticed an old friend of mine.

So, I sat at his table, and he called for the waitress,

and we ordered a bottle of wine.

We drank one bottle of wine,

and we all had a very good time,

talked of love and of life, and of reason and rhyme,

drinking one bottle of wine.

Said, I remember our younger days,

every shooting star seemed like a sign.

How long has it been? We were just children then.

So, we cried for a bottle of wine.

We drank two bottles of wine,

and we all had a very good time,

talked of love and of life, and of reason and rhyme,

drinking two bottles of wine.

He told me about all the loves he'd known,

and I said I'm still married to mine.

So we both gave a smile, to a girl passing by,

and then asked for a bottle of wine.

We drank three bottles of wine,

and we all had a very good time,

talked of love and of life, and of reason and rhyme,

drinking three bottles of wine.

I'd rather light candles than curse the dark,

and he said that the darkness is fine.

So, then we both then agreed, that we'd just disagree,

and agreed on a bottle of wine.

We drank four bottles of wine,

and we all had a very good time,

talked of love and of life, and of reason and rhyme,

drinking four bottles of wine.

We laughed as the night slipped away from us.

It's funny how our lives intertwine.

For we both will be gone, by the coming of dawn.

So, let's share one more bottle of wine.

We drank five bottles of wine,

and we all had a very good time,

talked of love and of life, and of reason and rhyme,

drinking five bottles of wine.

There are no more bottles of wine,

but new grapes still grow on the vine.

So, let's drink to the friends, we may never see again,

'Cause we all had a very good time.
