Lyrics

It's been a year to the month and day,
We picked the grapes for the wine we made.
And later that evening on the front porch swing,
You whispered that I was your everything.

I'll pop the cork on our home-made wine,
salute what's left of the old grapevine.
It's nearly choked by the thistle and thorn
that grows by the swing where our love was born

Chorus
One time we cared, one time we shared,
one time we took wedding vows
I heard you swear.."Til' death do us part."
well Honey, I'm dyin" right now!
I'm dyin' right now...

Not surprisin' the wine is bad
spoiled away, like the love we had
I dumped the wine on down the sink
as it runs away, I can't help but think

One time we cared, one time we shared,
one time we took wedding vows.
I heard you swear: "Til' death does us part."
well Honey I'm dyin' right nw!
I'm dyin' right now...

It's been a year to the month and day,
We picked the grapes for the wine we made,
and later that evening on the front porch swing
You whispered that I was your "everything"...
You whispered that I was your..your..."everything"

Doesn't seem fair...
One Time We Cared.....

Great mix of the vocals and instruments. Very Nice solo interlude. Melody is haunting and add to the allure of the song.
