Tonight in a bar alone I'm sitting
|
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
|
While scenes from the past rise before me
|
I'm watching the bubbles in my beer
|
A vision of someone who loved me
|
Brings a lone silent tear to my eye
|
And I know that my life's been a failure
|
Just watching the bubbles in my beer
|
[ steel - fiddle ]
|
I'm seeing the road that I've travelled
|
A road paved with heartaches and tears
|
And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
|
While watching the bubbles in my beer
|
As I think of the heart that I've broken
|
And the golden chances that have passed me by
|
The dreams that I had now are empty
|
As empty as the bubbles in my beer
|
