Dan Fogelberg - "Same Old Lang Syne"

I always thought of Same Old Lang Syne as a hybrid Christmas/New Year's song. Which makes sense - the first lyric is "Met my old lover in the grocery store, the snow was falling Christmas Eve..."

In the mid/late 1980s, my local top-40 northern California radio station played Same Old Lang Syne during the Christmas season, I think pretty regularly. Somewhere I probably still have a random 1987 radio segment I taped that included that song, along with a few others like Janet Jackson's Let's Wait Awhile.

An interesting fact is that the story told in the lyrics is mostly true - except that the real ex-girlfriend's eyes were green, not blue.
