The flower still blooms but the scent's not the orchids
So if you're gonna drink to me, drink with your eyes
Is not half as sweet as the air that you breathe
Then you took the orchid and you breathed on its petals
Drink to me
(Drink to me, drink to me)
Drink to me
'Cause I've got a thirst burning way down in my soul
(Drink to me, drink to me)
(Drink to me, drink to me)
Drink to me, drink to me
(Drink to me, drink to me)
But only the orchid was worthy of you, so I threw all the others away
A rose, a carnation, the lily and an orchid make such a pretty bouquet
Or leave a kiss in an empty coffee cup then pass it from your lips to mine
It carries the savor of you
And I'll never cry for wine
And honey from a sugar tree
And after a day or two
Drink to me, drink to me
Drink to me, drink to me
Drink to me, drink to me
Honey come here and drink to me
