Cheers To a Good Evening

Tonight I plan to go out and enjoy my time With some folks of mine that love red wine There is no reason to say where we go It could be a bar, or maybe my own home. I just want to steal away somewhere no one cares And enjoy a glass of wine that all wish to share I need a small vacation that lets me relax my mind Just being alone doesn’t let me unwind. I beg all of you to come and convey this with me Hello my associates, why are you strangers to be Come over there is so much to pass around I want to take your time that was not found. Maybe a Merlot, a Cabernet, or Burgundy for you You see I have them all, and they are all very true. If my home is not good enough, we could go to the bar, And order a beer or a glass of Champaign which lasts far. Anyway the night is young and my pallet is still dry I would walk far to have a group of my kin nearby No, loneliness is not good enough, today and evermore My wine awaits me this moment more and more. At last I heard a drum beating far away A beautiful melody played a song this way My friends heard my cry and were marching forth How I smiled with joy and sang along of course. The song continued to chant well into the night With many toasts of happiness crossing the sight My kin called me a lover of red wine filled with desire It was a heavenly group that I shared with and admired. When the moment came to an end We parted giggling loudly around the bend My wishes of a night with red wine came true And all who came and left were not just a few. Good night I will remember my companions well You gave me a holiday that I can awake and retell Farewell and goodbye until we toast another time My lips are wet now and experienced great wine.
