(Joyce Allsup)
|
My eyes are perfect but now I see I'm blind
|
Because I didn't notice all those danger signs
|
I tried and tried to tell you oh so many times
|
You should reach for your baby but I reached for the wine
|
Remember I told you that someday you would find
|
Just you and your bottle at the end of the line
|
You'd still be here in my arms and not just on my mind
|
If you'd reach for your baby like I reached for the wine
|
If I could reach you just one more time
|
I'd show you I love you much more than the wine
|
Many nights my pillow feels these arms of mine
|
For they couldn't reach you cause I reached for the wine
|
[ steel ]
|
I'm sure you'll find someone who will be kind and true
|
That's the things I wanted but I wanted them from you
|
Our love could have lasted until the end of time
|
If I'd reach for you baby like I reached for the wine
|
If I could reach you...
|
My arms couldn't reach you cause I reached for the wine
|
