This is a cover and *such* an accurate reflection of love and loss that I can't help but be drawn to it. It's so lovely and I especially enjoy the Art of Time Ensemble's take on it. It's originally performed by Ron Sexsmith.
No music because were I to sing over it there would have been toooooo much instrumental in between vocals.
Here's the lyrics!
And when I think of her
It's with the warmest thoughts
I took so much from her
I really learned a lot
How to dust off my heart
How to make it shine
How to take a field of dandelions
And make dandelion wine
Such sweet and simple days
Though bitter tasted the wine
We drank it anyway
For love had made it fine
When the world was young
When the road was bright
And the morning poured
Its golden light
Like dandelion wine
Oh I believed in us
Long before deceit and lust
Had lost the trust
Forgive me girl
Forgive me girl
Now when I sing to you
It's with a heavy heart
I took a love that was true
And tore it all apart
How can I let go
Of all those times?
With this memory
Of her hand in mine
And dandelion wine
And dandelion wine
WOW.

Like you I've taken quite a shining to this song myself. The first version I heard was the Art of Time Ensemble's feat. Sarah Slean (amazing album btw) and you have done this song justice. Keep singing.
