[Verse 1 – Male Vocals Only] I was just a seed, buried in the clay, Dreamin’ of the sun, prayin’ for the day. You were soft spring rain, fallin’ on my soul, Darlin’, you woke my heart, and you made it grow. [Verse 2 – Female Vocals Only] I was just a breeze, wanderin’ through the field, Found a lonesome sprout, thought I’d help her yield. Tangled in your roots, I couldn’t walk away, Honey, we climbed that vine, reachin’ for the day. [Chorus – Male and Female Vocal Harmony] Oh, Grapevine, twistin’ through the years, Growin’ strong through laughter and the tears. From a seed to wine, love’s a patient art, You’re my vintage season, darlin’, in my heart. (Steel guitar slides long and slow, fiddle hums a mournful fill) [Verse 3 – Male Vocals Only] Summer brought the fruit, hangin’ heavy and sweet, Your love was the sun, made my life complete. Every kiss we shared, ripened on the vine, Darlin’, you turned my days into somethin’ fine. [Verse 4 – Female Vocals Only] Now they press us down, crush us soft and slow, But that’s how love turns to a deeper glow. Through the dark and time, we’ll age so divine, Honey, you’re my forever, like this barrel of wine. [Chorus – Male and Female Vocal Harmony] Oh, Grapevine, twistin’ through the years, Growin’ strong through laughter and the tears. From a seed to wine, love’s a patient art, You’re my vintage season, darlin’, in my heart. (Piano swells, steel guitar wails, voices lean into tight harmony) [Bridge – Male & Female, alternating lines] We’ve weathered storms, and we’ve seen the frost, But every scar’s a tale of love we’ve crossed. Now we’re bottled up, aged and smooth as sin, I’d live it all again, just to love you again. [Final Chorus – Male and Female Vocal Harmony] Oh, Grapevine, twistin’ through the years, Growin’ strong through laughter and the tears. From a seed to wine, love’s a patient art, You’re my vintage season, darlin’, in my heart. [Outro – Male and Female Vocal Harmony] Mmm, Grapevine, oh, my Grapevine, You’re my vintage love, till the end of time. (Steel guitar slides fade, fiddle lingers, acoustic guitar strums softly to close)
