bubbles in my beer

tonight in a bar alone i'm sitting

apart from the laughter and the cheers

while scenes from the past

rise before me

just watchin' the bubbles in my beer. a vision of someone who loved me

brings alone silent tear to my eye

oh! i know that my life's been a failure

just watchin' the bubbles in my beer. i'm seeing the road that i've traveled

a road paved with hearthaches and tears

and i'm seeing the past

that i've wasted

while watchin' the bubbles in my beer. as i think of the heart that i've broken

and the chances i know have passed me by

and the dreams that i've made

now are empty

as empty as the bubbles in my beer.
