Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
In the days When we were swinging from the trees I was a monkey Stealing honey from a swarm of bees I could taste I could taste you even then And I would chase you down the wind You could go there if you please Wild honey And if you go there, go with me Wild honey Did I know you? Did I know you even then? Before the clocks kept time Before the world was made From the cruel sun You were shelter You were my shelter and my shade If you go there with me Wild honey You can do just what you please Wild honey Yeah, just blowing in the breeze Wild honey Wild, wild, wild I'm still standing, I'm still standing Where you left me Are you still growing wild With everything tame around you? I send you flowers Cut flowers for your hall I know your garden is full But is there sweetness at all? Oh oh oh If you go there go with me Wild honey Won't you take me, take me please Wild honey Yeah, swinging through the trees Wild honey Wild, wild, wild
