I Reached For The Wine lyrics

(Joyce Allsup)
My eyes are perfect but now I see I`m blind
Because I didn`t notice all those danger signs
I tried and tried to tell you oh so many times
You should reach for your baby but I reached for the wine
Remember I told you that someday you would find
Just you and your bottle at the end of the line
You`d still be here in my arms and not just on my mind
If you`d reach for your baby like I reached for the wine
If I could reach you just one more time
I`d show you I love you much more than the wine
Many nights my pillow feels these arms of mine
For they couldn`t reach you cause I reached for the wine
[ steel ]
I`m sure you`ll find someone who will be kind and true
That`s the things I wanted but I wanted them from you
Our love could have lasted until the end of time
If I`d reach for you baby like I reached for the wine
If I could reach you...
My arms couldn`t reach you cause I reached for the wine
