Bubbles in My Beer
Reflections in Bubbles: Willie Nelson's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Tonight in a bar alone, I'm sitting
Tonight, I am alone in a bar, seated
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
Away from the joy and merriment
While scenes from the past rise before me
Recollections of past moments appear in front of me
I'm watching the bubbles in my beer
I am observing the bubbles in my beer
I'm seeing a road that I've traveled
I am reflecting on the path I have taken
A road paved with heartaches and tears
A journey marked by pain and sorrow
And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
I am contemplating the time I have wasted
While watching the bubbles in my beer
While observing the bubbles in my beer
A vision of someone who loved me
A memory of someone who once loved me
Brings a long silent tear to my eye
Brings a tear to my eye without any sound
As I think of the heart that I've broken
Reflecting on hearts I've hurt
And of the golden chances that have passed me by
And missed opportunities that have passed me by
Oh, I know that my life's been a failure
I acknowledge that my life feels like a series of failures
And I've lost everything that made life dear
Having lost everything valuable in life
And the dreams I once dreamed now are empty
The dreams I once had are now hollow
As empty as the bubbles in my beer
As hollow as the bubbles in my beer
A vision of someone who loved me
A memory of someone who once loved me
Brings a long silent tear to my eye
Brings a tear to my eye without any sound
As I think of the heart that I've broken
Reflecting on hearts I've hurt
And of the golden chances that have passed me by
And missed opportunities that have passed me by
Oh, I know that my life's been a failure
I acknowledge that my life feels like a series of failures
I've lost everything that made life dear
Having lost everything valuable in life
The dreams I once dreamed now are empty
The dreams I once had are now hollow
As empty as the bubbles in my beer
As hollow as the bubbles in my beer
