Same Old Lang Syne

Dan Fogelberg

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried

(Ooh) hmm, mm, mm

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged

We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue (blue) (still as blue)
But in those eyes, I wasn't sure if I
Saw doubt or gratitude, yeah

She said she saw me in the record store
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell

We drank a toast to innocence (ooh)
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

We drank a toast to innocence (ooh)
We drank a toast to time (to time)
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
