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
