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
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've 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



That was a great song. depends how old you are on beating him on new generation songs . Kids have probably heard that song


Lets listen to



its perfectly written and produced. He knew music , his dad was a band leader or something of that effect

I was in Taco Bell yesterday and listening to piped in music . One came on , thats the worse song I ever heard , How did that get on radio. She could not sing and she was flat.


How do you order this food ? Oh use that AI machine over there . Do you want all the extras ? No. My wife said do you think a Mexican owns this ? Naw probably not , it's not really Mexican food , it's garbage. They're owned by corps

We’re all built from the same dust and dreams,
Different roads, but the same means.
