Paying For The Days Of Wine And Roses Lyrics
Once I lived the life of wine and roses
I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn.
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
For I kept the wine and threw away the rose.
--- Instrumental ---
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
The turn I made was not the one I planned

And I watched my social standing slip away from from me
As I slowly watched the bottle take command.
And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friend look down their noses
For I kept the wine and threw away the rose.
