the night is bright and gay but i m so blue my heart must have it s way and dream of you that s why i sigh and sip my lonely wine your picture on the wall your smiling face brings back the memory of your embrace i start to cry into my lonely wine teardrops fall but all they bring is heartache it s better if i never think at all still they soothe the pain my lonely thoughts make i never quite succeed in hiding all so let them fall where ever you may be i ll still be true and when the clouds roll by i ll come to you but until then i ll drink my lonely wine where ever you may be i ll still be true and when the clouds roll by i ll come to you but until then i ll drink my lonely wine
