"I Reached For The Wine" - Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn
Track 3 Of 12 On The Album "Mr. & Mrs. Used To Be" (1965)
Intro
Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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 Reached For Your Baby Like I Reached For The Wine
Chorus
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 Filled These Arms Of Mine
For They Couldn't Reach You 'Cause I Reached For The Wine
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
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 Reached For You, Baby, Like I Reached For The Wine
Chorus
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 Filled These Arms Of Mine
For They Couldn't Reach You 'Cause I Reached For The Wine
My Arms Couldn't Reach You 'Cause I Reached For The Wine
