Same Old Lang Syne (Live) - Dan Fogelberg[00:00:01]
Composed by:Dan Fogelberg[00:00:02]
Met my old lover in the grocery store[00:00:33]
The snow was falling Christmas Eve[00:00:38]
I stood behind her in the frozen foods[00:00:42]
And I touched her on the sleeve[00:00:46]
She didn't recognize the face at first[00:00:52]
But then her eyes flew open wide[00:00:56]
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse[00:01:01]
And we laughed until we cried[00:01:05]
We took her groceries to the check out stand[00:01:29]
The food was totaled up and bagged[00:01:33]
We stood there lost in our embarrassment[00:01:38]
As the conversation lagged[00:01:41]
We went to have ourselves a drink or two[00:01:47]
But couldn't find an open bar[00:01:51]
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store[00:01:56]
And we drank it in her car[00:02:00]
We drank a toast to innocence[00:02:06]
We drank a toast to now[00:02:09]
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness[00:02:15]
But neither one knew how[00:02:18]
She said she's married her an architect[00:02:24]
Who kept her warm and safe and dry[00:02:29]
She would have liked to say she loved the man[00:02:33]
But she didn't like to lie[00:02:37]
I said the years had been a friend to her[00:02:43]
And that her eyes were still as blue[00:02:47]
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw[00:02:52]
Doubt or gratitude[00:02:56]
She said she saw me in the record stores[00:03:01]
And that I must be doing well[00:03:06]
I said the audience was heavenly[00:03:10]
But the traveling was hell[00:03:14]
We drank a toast to innocence[00:03:20]
We drank a toast to now[00:03:23]
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness[00:03:29]
But neither one knew how[00:03:32]
We drank a toast to innocence[00:03:38]
We drank a toast to time[00:03:41]
Reliving in our eloquence[00:03:47]
Another Auld Lang Syne[00:03:51]
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired[00:04:00]
And running out of things to say[00:04:05]
She gave a kiss to me as I got out[00:04:09]
And I watched her drive away[00:04:13]
Just for a moment I was back at school[00:04:19]
And felt that old familiar pain[00:04:25]
And as I turned to make my way back home[00:04:34]
The snow turned into rain[00:04:40]
