    Cool need the name of a U2 song

    I thought the name of the song by U2 that I was looking for was called "kisses sweeter than sugar" the first time I heard it was the summer of 2005 I don't know if it is even a U2 song but it sure sounded like Bono singing the song. I just assumed it was off their newest CD which I also cannot remember the name of. I would appreciate any help I can get and Thanks soo very much. Sherri

    May be you are thinking of Van Morrison's "Tupelo Honey"

    You can take all the tea in china
    Put it in a big brown bag for me
    Sail right around the seven oceans
    Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    She's an angel of the first degree
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    Just like honey from the bee

    You can't stop us on the road to freedom
    You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
    Men with insight, men in granite
    Knights in armor bent on chivalry
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    She's an angel of the first degree
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    Just like honey from the bee

    You can't stop us on the road to freedom
    You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
    Men with insight, men in granite
    Knights in armor intent on chivalry
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    She's an angel of the first degree
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    Just like honey from the bee

    You know she's alright
    You know she's alright with me
    She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)

    You can take all the tea in china
    Put it in a big brown bag for me
    Sail it right around the seven oceans
    Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
    Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey
    She's an angel of the first degree
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey

    Artist: Jackson Browne
    Album: Rarities And Duets
    Title: Kisses Sweeter Than Wine


    (performed by jackson browne and bonnie raitt on the pete seeger tribute album where have all the flowers gone;1998)

    Jackson:
    When i was a young man i'd never been kissed;
    I got to thinking about what i had missed.
    I found a girl. i kissed her and then...
    Oh lord, i kissed her again.

    Together:
    Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
    Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.

    Bonnie:
    He asked me to marry and be his sweet wife;
    We would be happy -- all of our life.
    He begged and he pleaded like a natural man, and then...
    Oh lord, i gave him my hand.

    Together:
    Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
    Oooooh, kisses...

    Jackson:
    I worked mighty hard and so did my wife;
    Working hand in hand to make a good life.
    Corn in the field and wheat in the bins, and then...
