“Both the original and a cover by Herb Alpert in 1965 earned the song four Grammy Awards. A vocal version of the song, first recorded by Lenny Welch, became popular when it was recorded by the Beatles in 1963.” https://www.thebeatles.com

A Taste of Honey
Tasting much sweeter than wine
Do-do-n-do
Do-do-n-do

I dream of your first kiss and then
I feel upon my lips again
A taste of honey (a taste of honey)
Tasting much sweeter than wine

Oh, I will return
Yes, I will return
I’ll come back for the honey and you

Do-do-n-do
Do-do-n-do

Yours was a kiss that awoke my heart
There lingers still, though we’re far apart
That taste of honey (a taste of honey)
Tasting much sweeter than wine

Oh, I will return
Yes, I will return
I’ll come back (he’ll come back)
For the honey (for the honey)
And you
