This joyful, confident song proclaims that some of the best parts of ourselves take time to reach full maturity.
Lyrics
I would like to savor
The fruits of all my labor
Cultivated all these years
Every joy and sorrow
Sealed up in a bottle
All my hopes and all my fears
Then store it away for a decade or more
When the timing is right
I’ll never regret the waiting I did
Let me tell you why
Baby, I’m like a fine wine
Give me just a little bit of time
I haven’t even hit my prime
Give me just a little bit of time
I’m not meant for drinking casually
I’m thinking I get better as I age
Time’s not hard to swallow
Once you know what follows
Pop the cork and have a taste
I’m brilliant and balanced, finishing strong,
A bold and beautiful blend
Complexity came as I have matured
So don’t forget what I said:
Baby, I’m like a fine wine
Give me just a little bit of time
I haven’t even hit my prime
Give me just a little bit of time
I am settled in who I am
Yet I remain open to who I’ll become
I’ve been waiting for this instant
When I see my vintage ready to be drunk
Baby, I’m like a fine wine
Give me just a little bit of time
I haven’t even hit my prime
Give me just a little bit of time
Give me just a little bit
Give me just a little bit
Give me just a little bit of time
