Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your love is mine an` there`s peace in my soul
I own a castle in the air and everything`s fine, fine, fine
Life`s beautiful, my cup is full of sunshine wine!
Sunshine wine, an` diamonds of dew
Sweet dreams to find and a faith that`ll come true
Bird`s golden songs, the silver dawn`s, are yours an` they`re mine, Oh yeah!
In the eyes of the world, what I own may seem small
In the eyes of my girl, I need nothing at all, nothing at all
I've got sunshine wine ( Sunshine wine! ) an` dandelion gold ( Dandelion gold! )
True love is mine ( True love is mine! ) an` there`s peace in my soul ( Peace in my soul! )
I own a castle in the air and everything`s fine, fine , fine
Life`s beautiful, my cup is full of sunshine wine! ( Sunshine wine! )
Life`s beautiful, my cup is full of sunshine wine! ( Sunshine wine! )
Life`s beautiful, my cup is full of sunshine wine! ( Sunshine wine! )
Life`s beautiful, my cup is full...
The song "Sunshine Wine" by Perry Como is an upbeat and optimistic song about the joys of life and love. The opening line, "Sunshine wine and dandelion gold," refers to the simple pleasures in life. These symbolize the sun, the natural beauty of flowers like dandelions, and love. The singer suggests that because he has found love, he can enjoy the simple things in life and feel peace in his soul. He is content with his life and doesn't need anything more than the joy of love and nature.
The chorus further emphasizes the positivity of life with lines like "life's beautiful, my cup is full of sunshine wine" and "sweet dreams to find and a faith that'll come true." The singer appreciates the value of hard work and dreams, but he believes that those things are even better when shared with someone he loves. He believes that everything he owns -- the intangible things like love and peace -- are more valuable than material possessions.
In short, "Sunshine Wine" is a song about cherishing life's simple pleasures and finding happiness through love and nature.

Thank you for this rare gem. It's as good as "Seattle" from this laid-back crooner. I have the orange RCA label 45, "Seattle" b/w this song. Great memories of 1969.
