♪ 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 ♪
...♫...♪ ♪ ♪ ...♫...
♪ We took her groceries to the checkout stand ♪
♪ The food was totalled 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 ♪
♪ But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw doubt or gratitude ♪
♪ She said she saw me in the record stores ♪
♪ And that I must be doing well ♪
♪ I said the audience was heavenly but the traveling was hell ♪
♪ We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now ♪
♪ And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how ♪
♪ We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to time ♪
♪ Reliving in our eloquence, another 'auld lang syne' ♪
...♫...♪ ♪ ♪ ...♫...
♪ The beer was empty and our tongues were tired ♪
♪ And running out of things to say ♪
♪ She gave a kiss to me as I got out and I watched her drive away ♪
♪ Just for a moment I was back at school ♪
♪ And felt that old familiar pain ♪
♪ And as I turned to make my way back home ♪
♪ The snow turned into rain... ♪
