about

Memory is strongly connected to our senses and sometimes the scent or taste of something brings back vivid memories of times past. This song does it beautifully.
"We got this from the singing of Liam Clancy and it's a great though gentle chorus song.We still haven't been able to find out who wrote it."

lyrics

Dandelion Wine. (unknown)

When I was very small my grandmother told me
two things in life are finer than fine
to love when you’re young and then when you’re older
to dream by the fire with dandelion wine

Dandelion wine will make you remember
the first days of spring
in the middle of December
Dandelion Wine, Dandelion Wine

The first time I kissed him I felt the earth tremble
the sky turned around and the fields were aflame
the dandelions bloomed in their millions and millions
and each golden blossom was singing his name

The summer was dry and the autumn was bitter
the year and my love both drifted away
but the magic lives on in the glass as I raise it
I offer a toast to the past and I sing
