Lyric
Put the bottle on the table
Let it stay there ’til I’m not able
To see your face in every place
That I go
I’ve been sitting here so long
Just remembering that you are gone
Well, one more drink of wine
Then if you’re still on my mind
One drink, just one more and then anotherI’ll keep drinking, it won’t matter
I’ll just remember that I once had her
I don’t know why I sit and cry
Every day
I’ve been trying to forget
But I haven’t stopped it yet
Well, one more drink of wine
Then if you’re still on my mind
One drink, just one more and then anotherPut the bottle on the table
Let it stay there ’til I’m not able
To see your face in every place
That I go
I’ve been sitting here so long
Just remembering that you are gone
Well, one more drink of wine
Then if you’re still on my mind
One drink, just one more and then another
