A Taste Of Honey

The lyrics describe someone separated from a loved one who keeps remembering their first kiss and promises to return. The mood is tender and yearning, but also hopeful: distance has not erased the speaker’s feelings, and the repeated promise gives the song a sense of confidence.

“Honey” suggests sweetness and pleasure, but it may also stand for the beloved person or the memory of being with them. Comparing its taste with wine makes the kiss seem especially delightful and memorable. The image of the kiss that “awoke” the speaker’s heart implies that it stirred powerful feelings, perhaps marking the beginning of love.

The song keeps its meaning simple and open. “I will return” could be a firm promise, or an expression of longing that helps the speaker cope with being apart. The lyrics do not explain why the two people are separated or whether the reunion will happen. The focus is instead on a vivid memory and the hope of seeing the loved one again.
