Chorus:
 C#            F#
Drink to me, drink to me
 C#            G#
Drink to me, drink to me
         C#
Drink to me

  C#          F#          C#         G#
A rose, a carnation, the lily and an orchid
C#            G#      C#                   G#
Make such a pretty bouquet (drink to me, drink to me)
    C#       F#         C#         G#
But only the orchid was worthy of you
       C#          G#       C#
So I threw all the others away
(drink to me, drink to me)
      C#
Then you took the orchid and
you breathed on its petals
    D#m             G#
And after a day or two
     C#            F#             C#
The flower still blooms but the scent's
        G#
not the orchids
    C#          G#      C#
It carries the savor of you

Chorus

So if you are going to drink to me,
drink with your eyes
And I will never cry for wine
(Drink to me, drink to me)
Or leave a kiss in an empty
coffee cup then pass it from your lips to mine
(Drink to me, drink to me)
Because I've got a thirst burning way
down in my soul
And honey from a sugar tree
Is not half as sweet as the air that you breathe
Honey come here and drink to me
