Tonight in the bar alone I'm sitting   Apart from the laughter and the cheer   Scenes from the past rise before me   While watchin' the bubbles in my beer      A vision of someone who loved me   Brings a lone silent tear to my eye   I know that my life's been a failure   Just watchin' the bubbles in my beer      I'm seeing the road that I traveled   A road paved with heartaches and tears   I'm seeing the past that I've wasted   While watchin' 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 empty   As empty as the bubbles in my beer
