Today I got a long letter
|
From one who still cares for me
|
She asked lots of questions
|
Like would I call her sometime
|
And was I gettin' back on my feet
|
|
She asked if I had quit drinkin'
|
Like I promised her long ago
|
The words wouldn't come
|
When I called and she answered
|
Oh, but I found a way to say no
|
|
(Chorus:)
|
I sent her some wine colored roses
|
The color of grapes on the vine
|
When she sees the wine colored roses
|
They'll tell her I'm still on the wine
|
|
The roses will say I still love her
|
And the color will cause her to cry
|
One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry
|
And twelve pretty flowers don't lie
|
|
(Repeat chorus)
|
