Same Auld Lang Syne, 1981, lyrics by 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
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
Went to have ourselves a drink or two
but couldn't find an open bar
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
Tried to reach beyond the emptiness
but neither one knew how
She said she'd married her an architect
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 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, we drank a toast to now
Tried to reach beyond the emptiness
but neither one new how
We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to time
We're living in our eloquence,
another old 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

晚上在師大找了個地方吃飯,才剛落座就聽見音響傳來熟悉的音樂,
我記得是高中英文課學過的歌,但是我忘了是不是高三教的,有人記得嗎?
