Lyrics
0:05Same Old Lang Syne
0:05Dan Fogelberg
0:19Met my old lover in the grocery store
0:23The snow was falling Christmas Eve
0:28I stole behind her in the frozen foods
0:32And I touched her on the sleeve
0:38She didn't recognize the face at first
0:42But then her eyes flew open wide
0:47She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
0:51And we laughed until we cried
1:16We took her groceries to the checkout stand
1:20The food was totalled up and bagged
1:25We stood there lost in our embarrassment
1:29As the conversation dragged
1:34We went to have ourselves a drink or two
1:39But couldn't find an open bar
1:44We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
1:48And we drank it in her car
1:54We drank a toast to innocence
1:58We drank a toast to now
2:06And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
2:10But neither one knew how
2:17She said she'd married her an architect
2:22Who kept her warm and safe and dry
2:26She would have liked to say she loved the man
2:30But she didn't like to lie
2:35I said the years had been a friend to her
2:40And that her eyes were still as blue
2:45But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
2:49Doubt or gratitude
2:54She said she saw me in the record stores
2:59And that I must be doing well
3:02I said the audience was heavenly
3:07But the traveling was hell
3:13We drank a toast to innocence
3:17We drank a toast to now
3:25And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
3:30But neither one knew how
3:36We drank a toast to innocence
3:41We drank a toast to time
3:50Reliving in our eloquence
3:56Another 'auld lang syne'
4:13The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
4:18And running out of things to say
4:24She gave a kiss to me as I got out
4:28And I watched her drive away
4:35Just for a moment I was back at school
4:44And felt that old familiar pain
4:55And as I turned to make my way back home
5:01The snow turned into rain
