Here are the lyrics:
FROM THE VINE CAME THE GRAPE
Music and Lyrics: Paul Cunningham / Leonard Whiteup
From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
From the wine came a dream to a lover
He was back with Marie on the Isle of Capri
With a million stars shining above her
Once again he romanced as they kissed and they danced
And even heard wedding bells chime
From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
And for Tony, a wonderful time
With a song in his heart
He would sip another little glass of wine
With each sip he would cry
My bella Maria you're mine
(Repeat first verse in Italian)
From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
From the wine came a dream to a lover
He was back with Marie on the Isle of Capri
With a million stars shining above her
Once again he romanced as the kissed and they danced
And even heard wedding bells chime
From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
And for Tony a wonderful time
For Tony a wonderful time
-- End of Lyrics --
