lyrics

Another night of sitting alone
Tired of waiting by the telephone
A bar stool below me and heaven above
These are the moments
When I think of love

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder
A couple of rounds and I start to ponder
Looking into your big bad eyes
I’m heading to paradise

Absinthe makes you almost a charmer
Drinkin’ is the chink in my armor
Tell me, what’s the kicker?
Is it your lips, or is it the liquor?

Shake me awake - With a drink and a kiss
I might’ve guessed - it would lead to this

Absinthe makes my heart beat faster
Just one more and I’ll make it last dear
Let me stay in this lovely fog
Then I have to see a man about a dog
