    Unhappy Need HELP with a christmas song

    Its not a traditional Christmas song. I dont remember much lyrics, or any for that matter. But the song was about a guy running into an old love in a market or grocery store. Any ideas? I dont believe its very old, not sure. Any help?

    That's " Auld Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg

    et my old lover in a grocery store
    The snow was falling Christmas Eve
    Stole behind her in the frozen foods
    and I touched her on the sleeve
    She didn't recognize the face at first
    but then her eyes flew open wide
    Tried to hug me and she spilled her purse
    and we laughed until we cried
    Took her groceries to the checkout stand
    The food was totaled up and bagged
    stood there lost in our embarrassment
    as the conversation dragged
    Went to have ourselves a drink or two
    but couldn't find an open bar
    Bought a six-pack at the liquor store
    and we drank it in the car
    We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now
    Tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how
    She said she'd married her an architect
    Kept her warm and safe and dry
    She said she'd like to say she loved the man
    but she didn't want to lie
    I said the years had been a friend to her
    and that her eyes were still as blue
    But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw doubt or gratitude
    She said she saw me in the record store
    and that I must be doing well
    I said the audience was heavenly
    but the traveling was hell
    We drank a toast to innocence we drank a toast to time
    We're living in our eloquence, another old lang syne
    The beers were empty and our tongues grew tired
    and running out of things to say
    She gave a kiss to me as I got out
    and I watched her drive away
    Just for a moment I was back in school
    And felt that old familiar pain
    And as I turned to make my way back home
    the snow turned into rain
    Oh Stewardess..........I speak jive.
