Wine Colored Roses Lyrics - George Jones

(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...
