You and the Warm Whiskey
That bottle of whiskey
warms my lonesome soul
The thought of your smile
is what makes me whole
I don't have you in my arms
when I lay down to rest
But that bottle seems
to just soften the stress
You're so far from me
I long to feel you close
You're in my thoughts
but on life goes
I come home to nothing
Sit in the dim light
With the bottle in my hands
slowly indulging until I lose sight
When my weary eyes awake
nothing has begun to change
You're still so far
and the bottle tastes the same
Another dark day comes
and my soul fills with cries
Come back to me
before my heart completely dies
It's so hard in this world
to miss and cherish you
Whiskey holding my life
telling me love's not true
Look at me one more time
Smile and do not weep
With the stars shining
and the love running deep
It is goodbye once again
with you forever on my mind
The path I choose for life
has been clearly defined...
