Little glass of wine, it's a good thing you're here
You're warm on my lips, as warm as a tear
A comfort to the fool who is restless in his mind
The lover's trusty potion, little glass of wine

Little glass of wine, you're oil on my flame
You shy of the sunlight, hiding your shame
And the many, many tears, oh, the number is sublime
Shall stain a woman's bosom, with a little glass of wine

As soon as you learn that you don't live forever
You'll grow fond of the fruit of the vine
So, here is to you and here is to me
And here's to the ones we've left behind

Little glass of wine, it sure makes the party gay
It will seal a lover's bargain, it will chase your blues away
So, if you're feeling low and you want to rest your mind
Well, just run and fetch another little glass of wine
Yeah, run and fetch me another little glass of wine
