Music w/ a message #3

A long time ago this song held a lot of meaning to me. Everytime I hear it, it takes me back to a time when things were simpler and life seemed good all the time. When the biggest worry was making it home before curfew. I love my life now, and wouldn't change a thing. But this song takes me back to a bittersweet moment of time in my life. So for a flashback to my younger days, I give you this:



Artist: Deana Carter Lyrics
Song: Strawberry Wine Lyrics


He was working through college on my grandpa's farm
I was thirsting for for knowledge and he had a car
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
When one restless summer we found love growing wild
On the banks of the river on a well beaten path
Funny how those memories they last

Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine

I still remember when thirty was old
My biggest fear was September when he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall
But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste

Of strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine

The fields have grown over now
Years since they've seen a plow
There's nothing time hasn't touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
I've been missing so much

Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine
