Lyrics

[00:00.24] Today I got a long letter
[00:15.22] From one who still cares for me
[00:24.23] She asked lots of questions
[00:28.97] Like would I call her sometime
[00:32.77] And was I gettin' back on my feet
[00:40.14] She asked if I had quit drinkin'
[00:48.31] Like I promised her long ago
[00:57.07] The words wouldn't come
[01:01.57] When I called and she answered
[01:05.73] Oh, but I found a way to say no
[01:12.88] I sent her some wine colored roses
[01:22.42] The color of grapes on the vine
[01:29.90] When she sees the wine colored roses
[01:38.20] They'll tell her I'm still on the wine
[01:46.45] The roses will say I still love her
[02:02.82] And their color will cause her to cry
[02:11.39] One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry
[02:19.72] And twelve pretty flowers don't lie
[02:27.33] I sent her some wine colored roses
[02:36.32] The color of grapes on the vine
[02:43.91] When she sees the wine colored roses
[02:52.15] They'll tell her I'm still on the wine
[03:00.25] I sent her some wine colored roses
[03:11.92]
