Summer Wine
Summer Wine - Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My summer wine is really made from all these things
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, oh summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, oh summer wine
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Oh, oh summer wine
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Oh, oh summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine
The song "Summer Wine" by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood is a story of a man and a woman who spend a summer together drinking wine made from the sweetest things in life: strawberries, cherries, and an angel's kiss in spring. The lyrics reflect on the joys of the season, the romance of newfound companionship, and the warm and lazy feeling of a beautiful summer day.
The song opens with the man describing the ingredients that make up his "summer wine," with each of the three elements representing a different aspect of the perfect summer day. He then meets the woman, and they share a drink together, enjoying the other's company and the beautiful weather. But as the day wears on, the wine takes effect, and the man becomes too intoxicated to stand. The woman helps him and gives him more wine, and the song ends on a note of longing for the carefree summer days.
The lyrics of "Summer Wine" evoke a feeling of nostalgia and longing for the innocence and beauty of youth. It is a romantic and poetic journey into the heart of summer, a time when love and laughter are abundant, and anything seems possible.

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is made from the sweetest ingredients, like the first tastes of spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
My drink is like a dream, made with the best things in life
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
Forget about everything else and stay with me for a while
And I will give to you summer wine
I'll share my special drink with you, and we'll share this moment together
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
The drink was so good that I just couldn't resist it
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
She spoke words I'd never heard before, but they were so comforting
And then she gave to me more summer wine
She poured another glass, and I happily drank it
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
I must have slept for a while, because now it's morning
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
I don't know what happened, but now I feel different
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Now I can't stop thinking about that amazing drink
Oh, oh summer wine
The memory of that perfect summer moment will stay with me forever
