A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.

I dream of your first kiss, and then,
I feel upon my lips again,
A taste of honey...tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return, yes I will return,
I'll come back for the honey and you.

Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart,
There lingers still, 'though we're far apart,
That taste of honey...tasting much sweeter than wine.

I will return, yes I will return,
I'll come back (he'll come back) for the honey (for the honey) and you.

    General Comment:A Taste of Honey....more mushy Paul work here. I always enjoyed their first recordings they made at Abbey Road. It took a 12 hr marathon session to get their first LP made. Their producer, George Martin was trying to capture them live as if they were perfroming at the Cavern Club.

    It was first released on CD on the Please Please Me disk in '87. You can find this tune on the Early Beatles CD in the Beatles Capitol Records Recordings...Box #2.

    General Comment:i read once that they didnt like having to record this song, so they would sing "a waste of money" instead of "taste of honey" when they were goofing around. any truth behind that?

    General Comment:I don't really like this version. I like the tijuana sound of Brass version, which was later propelled to fame as the "4DJ" song on Chris Evans' breakfast show on Radio 1.

    General Comment:This song is an amazing song. It's a song I think so many people can relate to, just for the fact that we've all loved and lost. You could take it as them being on tour and missing the one they love, or use it to fit you're situation. It's a flexible song.
