Introduction
Have you ever felt that soft pull in your heart, like love is tiptoeing into your life? That’s exactly the feeling “Send Me No Wine” by The Moody Blues captures, in its own groovy, 60s kind of way. The song, nestled within the On the Threshold of a Dream album, takes a step back from the grandiose themes the band is often known for and instead focuses on a subtler, almost playful kind of romance.
What makes “Send Me No Wine” stand out is its laid-back, almost rustic vibe, carried beautifully by a blend of folk and rock that feels timeless. There’s this sense of casual charm in the lyrics, as if the narrator is saying, “No need for grand gestures or declarations—just let love come naturally.” It’s a refreshing take on romance, stripping it down to its simplest, most genuine form.
Justin Hayward’s smooth vocals blend effortlessly with the gentle instrumentals, especially the dreamy guitar riffs and that steady beat. The band manages to create a sound that feels both nostalgic and warm, as if inviting you to let love unfold in its own sweet time.
The song’s message is simple but so relatable: love doesn’t always need to shout. Sometimes, the best kind of love just whispers. And that’s the beauty of “Send Me No Wine”—it’s a reminder to embrace love without the need for fanfare or pressure. Just let it flow, naturally, like a good glass of wine enjoyed in quiet company.

Lyrics
Send me no wine to make an invitation
Leave me no time in your imagination
Only to find
Words in your mind
They’re gonna make you leave your
Leave your heart behind
Send me, send me no wine
To send my love away
Send me, send me no wine
To send my love away
Once in my life I need no conversation
All of my time I spent in fascination
Give you my love
For you in my life
If only everybody found the answer in love
Send me, send me no wine
To send my love away
Send me, send me no wine
To send my love away
Send me, send me no wine
To send my love away
Send me, send me no wine
To send my love away
Send me, send me no wine
To send my love away
