Tonight in a bar alone I'm sitting Apart from the laughter and the cheers While scenes from the past rise before me While 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 has been a failure Just watching the bubbles in my beer I'm seeing a road that I'm travelling A road paved with heartaches and tears And I'm seeing the life that I'm wasting Just watching the bubbles in my beer As I think of the hearts that I've broken And of the golden chances that have passed me by And the dreams that I made now are empty As empty as the bubbles in my beer
