[00:02.29]Same Old Lang Syne
[00:04.60]Dan Fogelberg
[00:05.66]
[00:18.58]Met my old lover in the grocery store,
[00:21.88]
[00:22.88]The snow was falling Christmas Eve.
[00:26.56]
[00:27.37]I stole behind her in the frozen foods,
[00:31.05]And I touched her on the sleeve.
[00:34.18]
[00:36.36]She didn't recognize the face at first,
[00:39.91]
[00:40.85]But then her eyes flew open wide.
[00:44.35]
[00:45.47]She went to hug me and she spilled her purse,
[00:49.09]And we laughed until we cried.
[00:53.91]
[01:12.32]We took her groceries to the checkout stand,
[01:15.38]
[01:16.44]The food was totalled up and bagged.
[01:20.12]
[01:20.81]We stood there lost in our embarrassment,
[01:24.36]As the conversation dragged.
[01:28.04]
[01:29.98]We went to have ourselves a drink or two,
[01:32.91]
[01:34.16]But couldn't find an open bar.
[01:37.40]
[01:38.59]We bought a six-pack at the liquor store,
[01:42.08]And we drank it in her car.
[01:46.88]
[01:48.13]We drank a toast to innocence,
[01:51.06]We drank a toast to now.
[01:53.93]
[01:56.43]And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
[01:59.61]
[02:00.17]But neither one knew how.
[02:03.92]
[02:05.22]She said she'd married her an architect,
[02:08.35]
[02:09.66]Who kept her warm and safe and dry,
[02:13.02]
[02:14.09]She would have liked to say she loved the man,
[02:17.71]But she didn't like to lie.
[02:20.64]
[02:23.01]I said the years had been a friend to her,
[02:26.32]
[02:27.38]And that her eyes were still as blue.
[02:31.06]
[02:31.87]But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw,
[02:35.43]
[02:36.05]Doubt or gratitude.
[02:38.36]
[02:40.73]She said she saw me in the record stores,
[02:44.10]
[02:45.16]And that I must be doing well.
[02:48.78]
[02:49.59]I said the audience was heavenly,
[02:53.21]But the traveling was hell.
[02:56.33]
[02:58.95]We drank a toast to innocence,
[03:02.01]We drank a toast to now.
[03:04.69]
[03:07.50]And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
[03:10.31]
[03:11.06]But neither one knew how.
[03:13.80]
[03:16.55]We drank a toast to innocence,
[03:19.48]We drank a toast to time.
[03:22.29]
[03:25.22]Reliving in our eloquence,
[03:27.66]
[03:28.53]Another 'auld lang syne'......
[03:35.08]
[03:37.39]The beer was empty and our tongues were tired,
[03:40.64]
[03:41.64]And running out of things to say.
[03:44.32]
[03:46.07]She gave a kiss to me as I got out,
[03:49.87]And I watched her drive away.
[03:53.05]
[03:55.24]Just for a moment I was back at school,
[03:58.29]
[04:00.85]And felt that old familiar pain .........
[04:04.29]
[04:07.53]And as I turned to make my way back home,
[04:11.46]
[04:12.08]The snow turned into rain ..............
[04:18.95]
