(George Jones)
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 getting back on my feet
She asked if I had quit drinking
Like I promised her long ago
The words wouldn't come
When I called and she answered
Oh but I found a way to say no
I sent her some wine-colored roses
The color of grapes on the vine
When she sees the wine-colored roses
They'll tell her I'm still on the wine
The roses will say I still love her
Their color will cause her to cry
One dozen reasons to tell her I'm sorry
And twelve pretty flowers don't lie
I sent her some wine-colored roses
The color of grapes on the vine
When she sees the wine-colored roses
They'll tell her I'm still on the wineI try to pick the pieces up 
And I can't think of startin' over 
We used to share the stars above 
I don't wanna think of change 
So now I've gotta move on 
I've gotta catch up to the world 
Even though I gave you my life 
As wrong as it seems I know its right 

But is there a place 
That I can go away 
To escape the love that 
I will forever know? 

Chorus 
Where can we go from here? 
All I know is that I love you still 
Sometimes we do things against our will 
I know I'll cry lonely tears 
Where can we go from here? 

Why? Why do I cry inside 
For a love that's gone away? and 
How? How can I carry on 
When I know all the love is gone 
Tell me where can we go to get away 
From the pain of love and you 
Tell me, where? 

Where can we go from here 
All I know is that I love you still 
Sometimes we do things against our ways 
I know I cry lonely tears 
Where can we go from here
