A Taste Of Honey lyrics
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
The linger still
though we're far apart
That taste of honey
tasting much sweeter than wine
Oh, I will return
Yes, I will return
I'll come back
>he'll come back<
For the honey
>for the honey<
And you!

MY THOUGHTS: I've always thought this was a deep and romantic song. It's simply about a young man discovering true love and the kiss that "awoke his heart". The turm "a taste of honey" is used to explain how the kiss felt. So, it obviously didnt feel or taste like honey (unless Paul had some honey before he kissed her. ha ha) but it means that the kiss was sweet like honey and wonderful. The wine bit, I think, means that the kiss wasnt bitter like wine, but in fact, sweet as if it were honey. He says "I will return, yes, I will return, I'll come back for the honey and you". I think that means that he might return to the girl who has kissed him and I guess, make her his girlfriend. I'm not sure but I think thats what it means. Any ways, I think this songs makes me think of the cavern. It has the echo sound. And I really find it fascinating how he holds the "you" at the end of the song. Over all, a wonderful and romantic song!!!
I feel sure you know I can't let this one go by without adding my two cents!
ReplyDeleteThe original song was written for a Broadway play called, believe it or not, "A Taste of Honey". The pop version was first done by a black singer named Lenny Welsh. Listen to it here:

I always like to listen to the versions that the Beatles were covering, if only to hear how much their developing style adds to the original.
Keep on keeping on, NG. I'm loving your blog.
Wonderful! Man, I love this song! It's sweet as honey, in fact. Like you said, it's very romantic and don't know, but I dream a lot about it. It's like a key to beautiful and very sweet dreams. I loved the post! <3
