From one who still cares for me
 She asked lot's of questions
 Like would I call her sometime
 And was I gettin' back on my feet

 She asked if I had stopped drinkin'
 Like I promised her son 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 see's the wine colored roses
 They'll tell her I'm still on the wine

 The roses will say I still love her
 And the color will cause her to cry
 One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry
 And twelve pretty flowers don't lie

 (Repeat chorus
