Lyrics
Today i got a long letter, the color of grapes on the vine
Today i got a long letter, the words wouldn t come
their color will cause her to cry
When i called and she answered, from one who still cares for me she asked lots of questions George, like i promised her long ago
The color of grapes on the vine, the color of grapes on the vine
They ll tell her i m still on the wine, one dozen reasons to tell her i m sorry
Today i got a long letter, from one who still cares for me she asked lots of questions George, one dozen reasons to tell her i m sorry
i sent her some wine-colored roses
today i got a long letter
the roses will say i still love her
Their color will cause her to cry, and was i getting back on my feet, from one who still cares for me she asked lots of questions
oh but i found a way to say no i sent her some wine-colored roses
the color of grapes on the vine
they ll tell her i m still on the wine
The color of grapes on the vine, she asked if i had quit drinking
The words wouldn t come, and twelve pretty flowers don t lie
And twelve pretty flowers don t lie, from one who still cares for me she asked lots of questions, and twelve pretty flowers don t lie
And was i getting back on my feet, today i got a long letter Wine, she asked if i had quit drinking
One dozen reasons to tell her i m sorry, and twelve pretty flowers don t lie, and was i getting back on my feet
And twelve pretty flowers don t lie, the roses will say i still love her Jones, when she sees the wine-colored roses
they ll tell her i m still on the wine
They ll tell her i m still on the wine, oh but i found a way to say no i sent her some wine-colored roses
The color of grapes on the vine, from one who still cares for me she asked lots of questions, the roses will say i still love her
From one who still cares for me she asked lots of questions, they ll tell her i m still on the wine
