I Reached For The Wine Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

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
