Tonight in a barroom, I`m sitting apart
From the laughter and cheer
The scenes of my life past before me
While watching the bubbles in my beer.
A vision of someone who loved me
Brings along silent tear to my eye
I know that my life`s been a failure
Just watching the bubbles in my beer.
--- Instrumental ---
I`m seeing the road that I`ve travelled
A road paved with heartaches and tears
I`m seeing the past that I`ve wasted
While watching the bubbles in my beer.
I think of the heart that I`ve broken
And the golden chances that have passed me by
The dreams I`ve once made now are over
As empty as the bubbles in my beer...
