Cold winds may blow for the icy sea
But I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey, a taste much sweeter than wine
I will return, I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll leave behind my heart too well
And may it e'er remind you of
A taste of honey, a taste much sweeter than wine
I will return, I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you
Billy Dee Williams recorded the first vocal version of the song.
It was originally an instrumental track written for the 1960 Broadway version of the 1958 British play "A Taste of Honey".
