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 to call 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 the sunhine
Yes but that was before I found the wine

I wish that I could go back to your world
Hold you close to me and know that you are mine
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 my life had meaning...
Yes but that was before I found the wine
