ANOTHER GLASS OF WINE

the emptiness of being alone

 

Another Glass Of Wine

The fire is burning softly

The music's playing low

The smell of popcorn fills the room

The candles all a glow

Sounds of winter can be heard

On the windows and the door

I snuggle on the fur rug

Fill my glass of wine once more

I watch the embers dancing

With colors yellow and red

Silence echos in the room

For not a word is said

Another glass of wine is gone

Mellow now is my tone

Sadness fills my empty heart

As I sit here all alone

But then I slowly close my eyes

And dream you're here with me

Fantasy opens my every thought

Enables my mind to see

I can touch your face with tenderness

Kiss your lips and hold you tight

I can lay down right beside you

Make love with you all night

But then the dream comes to an end

As the dark night turns to day

How I wish that dream was real

For in your arms I'd stay

I know it's only a fantasy

The wine helps me to see

This dream's not real, it can't come true

Alone I'm meant to be
