My Toast To You 1910 'When Sweet Sixteen'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 29 Sep 2004

O'er the brim of a glass of wine
what visions we see, my boy!
All the sparkling drops combine
to promise a future of joy.
For the castles in Spain are there,
the hopes that we dare not think!
Come away from your sorrow and care,
and drink with me, drink with me, drink!

If you love me, drink with me!
Here's a health to you, my dear;
may never a sorrow be yours till tomorrow,
today is always here.
If you love me, drink with me;
drink it down, this sparkling brew.
Whatever betide thee,
may joy dwell beside thee,
my love my toast to you!

[All:] If you love me, drink with me;
drink it down, this sparkling brew;
[Solo:] Whatever betide thee,
may joy dwell beside thee
[All:] My love, my toast to you!

O'er the brim of a glass of wine
I linger, I linger so long,
all the drops of nectar combine
to sing to me love's sweet song!
With your every glass of wine
you'll think of me, think of me, think!
And there in this liquid divine
you drink to me, drink to me, drink!

If you love me, drink with me!
Here's a health to you, my dear;
may never a sorrow be yours till tomorrow,
today is always here.
If you love me, drink with me;
drink it down, this sparkling brew.
Whatever betide thee,
may joy dwell beside thee,
my love my toast to you!

[All:] If you love me, drink with me;
drink it down, this sparkling brew;
[Solo:] Whatever betide thee,
may joy dwell beside thee
[All:] My love, my toast to you!
