2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Before the 2nd Glass of Wine by Ron Risden

Lyrics

You walked into the bar
Your legs peeking out of your green skirt
A sly smile came to my face
I was hoping we’d would start to flirt

Our words began a dance
The start of 3 hours of fun
I ordered my beer
You had glass of wine number one

Emotions sprang up in me
That were buried for a long time
I found myself falling for you
Before your second glass of wine

You told me so casually that you were now free
And it made my lonely heart skip a beat
I learned over to kiss you
And almost fell off my seat
To describe your lips
I could only say divine
Now here I am still falling
Before your second glass of wine

Like a knife in my back
When we said goodbye
Because
I thought everything was fine
But I was just love blind
Because you made up your mind
You would never be mine
Before the second glass of wine
Before the second glass of wine
