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 I'm seeing the road that I've traveled 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
