Without the Roses

I have been drinking a fine cabernet
From a trip to Sedona we went on last May
We brought home two cases, there's still one case left
That, now that you've left me, I drink by myself

And each bottle and glass carries notes of the past
Echoes of all that helped form it
So too my heart has been fashioned and marked
By every love that's warmed it
So I drink to good-byes and to ships that sailed by
I drink to each chapter that closes
And I drink one more time to days of wine
Without the roses

Wine's good for the heart - I guess that's what they say
Mine's already broken but I drink anyway
'Cause what leaves me so bitter goes down so sweet
I guess that's the reason I'm doomed to repeat

And each bottle and glass carries notes of the past
Echoes of all that helped form it
So too my heart has been fashioned and marked
By every love that's warmed it
So I drink to good-byes and to ships that sailed by
I drink to each chapter that closes
And I drink one more time to days of wine
Without the roses

One more empty bottle, I should be asleep
But my head keeps swimming in old memories
'Cause it's wine that I'm drinking, but it's you that I taste
So I'm not letting one drop go to waste

And each bottle and glass carries notes of the past
Echoes of all that helped form it
So too my heart has been fashioned and marked
By every love that's warmed it
So I drink to good-byes and to ships that sailed by
I drink to each chapter that closes
And I drink one more time to days of wine
Without the roses

Yes I drink one more time to days of wine
Without the roses
