A Case of You by Diana Krall Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
O Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

[Chorus]
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

[Verse 2]
Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
Frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those who ain't afraid
I remember the time you told me
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
[Chorus]
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet

[Verse 3]
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
She said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"

[Chorus]
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter, you taste so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on my feet
I'd still be on my feet
