Wine Colored Roses

(Written by D. Knutsen and D. Owens) 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 Instrumental The roses will say I still love her And their color will cause her to cry One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry And twelve pretty flowers don't lie 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 I sent her some wine colored roses...
