Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink while you can but you won't forget her

You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd

That's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame

Kiss one girl, kiss another
Kiss 'em all but you won't recover

You're dancin' slow, you're dancin' fast
You're happy now but that won't last

That's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame

That's the price of love, the price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love, the price of love
It costs you more when you're to blame

Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink while you can but you won't forget her

You won't forget her

Allison is my wife in the alternate perfect universe. And yes, dammit, it is out there.
Alison Krause is the vocalist.
The RP artist only has Robert Plant, but this recording is usually credited to both Plant and Alison Krauss
I bought the Everly's version mid 60's and still love it, indeed I still have it :)
It was an EP with 3 other tracks: 

That'll Be The Day
Gone Gone Gone - which they wrote and Robert has covered
It Only Costs A Dime - which they wrote
Robert Plant pushes forward and tries different styles of music, always good to hear!
These    *girl/guy gone* songs are so rife that it makes this one stand out like  it they're supposed to,   you hear?  It really sucks.... (love lost, not the musician/song you fanzine defenders😉)

While you did say "possibly" you might want to do a little research for saying such things. Go to YouTube and look for Wings of Pegasus Alison Krauss ... and select the video "Alison Kraus is THE gold standard in pitch control".
Wow, talk about a song that cuts a little too close to the bone. There are tears and pain that don't seem to go away, and no, I won't forget her. Would I do it again? Yes.
Oy.

Here's a nice rockin' version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU2Kz7dwOlg
Alison Kraus should be in the photo.

Alison Krause has become a regular in Mrs.RPlistener's playlist...and always leads to some good things...thanks Bill, RP and Alison...weeee!
unfortunately Robert is autotuned to the point of me saying his contribution is unnecessary… Allison is always haunting

No, I wouldn't have guessed that either.

I remember the Roxy Music version, too....
Good vibe to this track,  must hear more from this album!

You know what?  I wish the songwriters were listed for all of the tracks played on RP.  I think that would be fascinating in a lot of cases.

Bill??  Pretty please??   :)
pretty ballad but try her "I Lie Awake" for a beautiful one

Huh.  Probably the one and only time I knew something about music that Bill didn't  -- and now he knows too!  Dangit!  (How 'bout we play some Everly Bros. once in a while?)

Enjoy the Krauss/Plant collaborations and Allison's sweet vocals just melt my heart with "The Price of Love".  Starting at 8 but may revise upward... 
Listen to the music. The answer is there.  This album has been a long time coming.
Really liking this new album... Another one to buy!!
