This is one of those songs that I have to rewind and listen to an extra time or two every time it comes on.

I came across this version which is arguably more poignant than the original as Ms. Carter is now singing about youthful innocence from a perspective of an older woman rather than when she sang it originally as a relatively young woman herself.

And here’s a take on the same song from the man’s point of view…

“Strawberry Wine” – Deana Carter
