Come on everyone, we got to get together, now.
Oh, yeah, love s the only thing that matters, anyhow.
And the beauty of life can only survive, if we loooooove
one another.

Oh, yeah, yesterday my friends were marching out to war..
oh, yeah, listen now, you hear them marching anymore?
No, we ain t gonna fight, only God has the right,
to decide who s to live and die..
CHORUS:
He gave us sweet cherry wine..so very fine..
drink it right down, pass it all around..
so stimulating, so intoxicating.
Sweet cherry wine, to open your mind..
And everybody s gonna feel so fine..drinking
sweet cherry wine..(Yes, they will.)
#3.
Watch the mountain turn to dust and blow away.
Oh Lord, you know there s got to be a better way.
And the old masquerade, is a no soul parade..
marchin through the ruins of time.
To save us, He gave us..
CHORUS:
sweet cherry wine..so very fine..drink it right down,
pass it all around..so stimulating, so intoxicating..
sweet cherry wine..
And everybody s gonna feel so fine..drinking
sweet cherry wine..
