Yesterday's Wine Lyrics

Miracles appear in the strangest of places
Fancy me finding you here
The last time I saw you was just out of Houston
Let me sit down and buy you a beer
Your presence is welcome with me and my friend here
'Cause this is a hangout of mine
We come here quite often to listen to music
And to taste yesterday's wine

Yesterday's wine, yesterday's wine
Agin' with time like yesterday's wine
Yesterday's wine, yesterday's wine
We're agin' with time like yesterday's wine

You give the appearance of one widely traveled
But lord, I'll bet you've seen things in your time
Come sit down here with us and tell us your story
If it's true you like yesterday's wine

Yesterday's wine, yesterday's wine
We're agin' with time like yesterday's wine
Yesterday's wine, yesterday's wine
We're agin' with time like yesterday's wine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To me, yesterday\'s wine refers to memories that get better with time. Everyone has them. This fellow traveller that just happened to cross paths again with me and has memories that are meaningful, so let us hear about those fine memories. Let\'s hear about your travels through the matrix.
