Yesterday I had a future and I was happy

I had your love and the whole wide world was mine

I had money to spend and a woman who called me darling

Yes but that was before I found the wine

Before I found the wine my life had meaning

There were happy days at my house all the time

I remeber when you told me I hung the moon and made you sunhine

Yes that was before I found the wine

[ guitar ]

I wish that I could go back to your world

Hold you close to me and know that you are mine

And I wish that I could hear you say I love you

Just the way you did before I found the wine

Before I found the wine...

Yes but that was before I found the wine
