Whiskey In My Wine Glass

Intro

Instrumental fingerpicked acoustic guitar and pedal steel

Verse

I set the table for two, but it’s only me tonight

Candle’s burning low, like the fight we lost to time

We gave it all we had, Lord knows we tried

But love don’t always stay, even when the heart won’t lie

Chorus

Now it’s whiskey in my wine glass, tears on the floor

I still see your boots by my back porch door

I don’t hate you, no, I never could

You treated me better than I thought anyone would

But good love sometimes can’t last

So I’m drinking whiskey in my wine glass

Verse

Every song on the jukebox cuts me like a knife

I raise a toast to the man who gave me the best years of my life

You were my safe place, my reason, my friend

But even the sweetest story has to find its end

Chorus

Now it’s whiskey in my wine glass, tears on the floor

I still see your boots by my back porch door

I don’t hate you, no, I never could

You treated me better than I thought anyone would

But good love sometimes can’t last

So I’m drinking whiskey in my wine glass

Bridge

Respect and love don’t fade with the night

It hurts worse knowing we both did it right

No anger, no blame, just the truth we can’t change

Two hearts on fire that burned out all the same

Chorus

So it’s whiskey in my wine glass, prayers in the dark

Holding onto the memory of your gentle heart

I don’t hate you, no, I never will

Guess loving you deeply is what’s breaking me still

Good love sometimes can’t last

So I’ll keep drinking whiskey… in my wine glass

Outro

Soft pedal steel and acoustic picking fading out
