Lyrics:

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 Stopped Drinkin
like I Promised Her Son Long Ago
the Words Wouldnt 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
theyll Tell Her Im 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 Im Sorry
and Twelve Pretty Flowers Dont Lie

(Repeat Chorus
