Lyrics
BOTTLED LOVE
(Dale Allen)
Nights will come and nights will go
Like the sunshine and the snow
And the lovers that I know
In the morning I'll forget
Half the people that I've met
And the sheets will all be wet
With the whiskey sweet sweat
From a night of bottled love...bottled love
I will gamble love with you
Until the game is through
Though the winners are so few
In the morning I'll regret
That I misplaced every bet
And the sheets will all be wet
With the whiskey sweet sweat
From a night of bottled love...bottled love
I see a stranger in my mirror in the morning
Last night's lover empty on the chair
I've had my share
Take the nights away from me
I've been as kind as I can be
To this lover holdin' me
In the morning I'll regret
Every single cigarette
And the sheets will all be wet
With the whiskey sweet sweat
From a night of bottled love...bottled love
