Plays: 112 Jiggs: 2 Description: 舊情人不期而遇 ..... Album: My Music Genre: Alternative Language: English Artist: Dan Fogelberg Tags: Dan Fogelberg - same old lang syne Lyrics: Met my old lover in the grocery store<br />
The snow was falling christmas eve<br />
I stole behind her in the frozen foods<br />
And I touched her on the sleeve<br />
<br />
She didnt recognize the face at first<br />
But then her eyes flew open wide<br />
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse<br />
And we laughed until we cried.<br />
<br />
We took her groceries to the checkout stand<br />
The food was totalled up and bagged<br />
We stood there lost in our embarrassment<br />
As the conversation dragged.<br />
<br />
We went to have ourselves a drink or two<br />
But couldnt find an open bar<br />
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store<br />
And we drank it in her car.<br />
<br />
We drank a toast to innocence<br />
We drank a toast to now<br />
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness<br />
But neither one knew how.<br />
<br />
She said shed married her an architect<br />
Who kept her warm and safe and dry<br />
She would have liked to say she loved the man<br />
But she didnt like to lie.<br />
<br />
I said the years had been a friend to her<br />
And that her eyes were still as blue<br />
But in those eyes I wasnt sure if I saw<br />
Doubt or gratitude.<br />
<br />
She said she saw me in the record stores<br />
And that I must be doing well<br />
I said the audience was heavenly<br />
But the traveling was hell.<br />
<br />
We drank a toast to innocence<br />
We drank a toast to now<br />
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness<br />
But neither one knew how.<br />
<br />
We drank a toast to innocence<br />
We drank a toast to time<br />
Reliving in our eloquence<br />
Another auld lang syne...<br />
<br />
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired<br />
And running out of things to say<br />
She gave a kiss to me as I got out<br />
And I watched her drive away.<br />
<br />
Just for a moment I was back at school<br />
And felt that old familiar pain<br />
And as I turned to make my way back home<br />
The snow turned into rain --
