Backstory:

Just brainstorming. It began as a general break up song. Cathy and I changed it for the pitch to Reba McEntire. It begins with a great vibe, gets a bit sad in the middle but the triumph is in the last verse.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Wine and Roses
Verse 1
As she walked down the aisle     
In satin and white lace
 She saw the sweetest smile
 Come across his face            ­­
 
He took out the diamond ring           
Slipped it on her trembling hand         
He was her noble king
She was the happiest girl in the land     
 
Chorus
Back then it was wine and roses   
They smiled for wedding poses       
Their own little heaven on earth   
Thinking they could never be hurt 
It was all wine and roses
     
Verse 2
Now they try to say I love you
But the words just won't come
Their tears tell the bitter truth
Their hearts are on the run
 
But he’s still her one and only
She’s not ready for it to end
She wishes he’d kiss her slowly
And light that fire once again
 
Chorus
Back then it was wine and roses   
They smiled for wedding poses       
Their own little heaven on earth   
Thinking they could never be hurt 
It was all wine and roses


Verse 3
Time has a way of changing minds
They may have grown apart
But they could never deny
The love that’s in their hearts
One year down the road
They’re together still
Their love has only grown
With every trial and thrill

Chorus
Back then it was wine and roses   
They smiled for wedding poses       
Their own little heaven on earth   
Thinking they could never be hurt 
It was all wine and roses
