I had an ocean of promises

That never came true

I had a mountain of hope baby

Sailed right off into the blue

Thought i had everything i want

But then the truth comes clear



All i got left is this one bottle of tears

All i got left is this one bottle of tears



Now come drink one with me honey

Yeah one for old times sake

The taste ought to be familiar by now

No there ain't no mistake

Grab a glass pour it slow

Drinkin' a toast to the long lost years



(repeat chorus)



It's always been here waitin'

Down at the end of the line

White table cloth two empty glasses

Filled with tears and a bottle of wine



(repeat chorus)



Now it's gettin late so let's drink up

Here's to me and here's to you

And here's to hope, love, faith, and dreams

And all the things that we never could do

Don't wait 'round on no miracle

Ain't nothin' close to a miracle here

Just lonely, lonely nothin'

Nothin' but this bottle of tears

Nothin' but this bottle of tears

Nothin' but this bottle of tears
