Lyrics
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
#DanFogelberg #SameOldLangSyne #OfficialVideo #Live
I am 70 years old and I cry every time I hear this. They don't write them like this anymore. God bless this man RIP
I loved that "Innocent Age" album when I was a kid, and I cried when DF died, just as I did when John Denver died, and Karen Carpenter died. Amazing artists.

100!
Yes my brother, I cry too
Fun fact: I went to high school with Dan and still live in his old neighborhood. I regularly shop at the same store that inspired this song.
Hi :) fun fact indeed. Do you know the story, or woman, that inspired this beautiful tune?
That’s an AWESOME story!
Thank you for sharing that!
Awesome. But I bet they moved the frozen food by now.😉😆 This song has universal appeal because so many people have had these same types of experiences with ex's. Yup 70 and crying like a baby.....my engagement ended NYE 1973 over a display of Toberlone candy. Cant eat the stuff to this day even though 50 years have passed.
Even if he doesn't it doesn't change the beauty of the man or the song.
Was that in Peoria?
One of Americas Most underrated Titled Songwriters
I'm only 15 but I appreciate this man and his voice so much.
Anybody who can write songs like this is nothing but a phenomena.
I’m 76 years old now, and every single time I hear Dan sing this song , I am blissfully transported back in time to 27 years old…young, beautiful, full of hopes and dreams with boundless energy, enthusiasm, and love. Truly an eternal remembrance song. I miss you and your music Dan, but what you gave us is timeless for an eternity
Me too Ma’am…beautiful stated!
i'm a 65 year old man, and i'm not ashamed to say this makes me cry!
You shouldn't be. Men are human too. Crying isn't a sign of weakness. IDK where that silly idea ever came from.
Couldn't agree more,it's a real life event for all of us,talented man Gone to soon
Never be a shame to admit you cry. I melt at a lot of things like this story
@db happiness 👍👍👍👍
Me too brother
40 years since this song came out and we, the fans, still cherish it
You got that right!
Beautiful clean music!
Exactly right
Just love, love this song. I have great memories listening to it. Transports me back to a great time in my life.💖💖💖💖
Miss you Dan Fogelberg
Yep😎
His folk/pop style actually influenced my writing🎶🎸😎❤🙏
Oh the songs that tell a story. Don’t we all miss them?..
the best ones do.
I sure do. There are a few new artists who songs tell a story. But not many and not as powerful as those in the Dan Fogelberg era.
Like "Taxi", it tells a happy/sad story.
Play this song after 40 years quietly greatly missing someone special....
If this song does not break your heart every time you hear it, check your pulse.
The singer songwriter era was truly magical.
I think almost every one of us can relate to this song back from our youth. 💔 We grew up with best music there ever was. Rest in peace Dan.
Yes we did. Just think of all the great music if he did not die at 56 of cancer
We "kids of the 70's" were blessed with with music like Dan's music. Words had meaning in our lives. I miss you Dan Fogelberg. Thank you for all you gave to us.
Born in 1970, grew up with 70's music, and now almost 49 years old, this music truly takes me back to my childhood...playing outside til dark, riding bikes, being a kid. You are right, music had meaning, emotions, and it seems like some "values".
Yep for sure. Some old friends were never lovers but good dear sweet friends. Have many who I've known for close to 50 years. Great song😄
I totally agree. I feel so blessed to have come up in that era. So many great artists and music then. So many good times.
I am a 90s kid... But i love this kind of music.
His music is soul stirring. Song like this or Leader of the Band touch you no matter your age. The world was blessed to have Dan Fogelberg and his talent in it.
To the boy I didn't give a chance when we were 17, (1978), I'm sorry. I should have. Hope you had a great life.
❤I’m sure he did…
I did 😂😂
I gave up several beautiful guys when I was young. Man was I a messed up chick. I wanted bad boys instead. I paid for that mistake my whole life. If only I could have a do over😢 64 here
Most people regret not loving themselves sooner. We compare ourselves to unrealistic expectations. Hope you can forgive yourself and live your authentic self.
"And as I turn to make my way back home, the snow turned into rain." One of the most powerful, and emotional sentiments I have EVER experienced in music. The symbolism makes this man cry. We miss you Dan.
That moment about kills me every time.
Sorry for my ignorance. What is the name of the instrumental melody at the end of the song ? Makes me cry always. Thank you.
@@claudiasilvanacanova8475It’s an interpretation of Auld Lang Syne
Thank you !!@@JoeB0y16
Yes. That line rips me up, too.
Dan left us way too early
Let me just say, you don’t have to celebrate Christmas or have to have been in a romantic relationship to appreciate this beautiful piece of music.
CONGRATS TO A REMARKABLE INSIGHT< I RAISE MY VIOLIN BOW> I BEND MY TENOR REED TO YOU> "LIVE LONG & PROSPER"(FROM ORIGINAL " STAR TREK'S SPOCK"}}
Exactly.
Bellísima canción de Amor aluciva for Christmas 🎄 Time,pero en cualquier momento que la escuchó me hace sentirme ilicionado
I love Christmas. And have been married to the only man I love for over 32 years now, wonderful family. The best life! 🙏🏼💚🎄
💯
this song doesnt deserve any dislikes
But nasty people will do it anyway to make themselves feel important. Ignore them.
I agree!
Dislikes are a big WTH? to me. If you dont like this music, something is definately going on with you. Probably should seek some sort of help! ☺
They don't have a clue. Feel sorry for them.
@@vbplayer50 Excatly
One of my best high school friends died from AIDS in 1983. I played this song over and over and over again the night I heard the news. I can’t hear it now without crying. He was the best so talented I will always love and miss you Scott.
🫂
I'm sorry for your loss. I have lost people too.
And a song will come on the radio, like this one, and I'll cry too. 😔
This song is just that way. Brings back memories of past friends, past tines....ect.
II love Dan Fogelberg.♥️
So so sorry for your heartache! Awful💕
that was such a scary time. i am sorry for the loss of your friend. many of us lost friends and family in the 80s to AIDS/HIV. Decades of pain and loss and now HIV is finally manageable and survivable. Doesn't bring back those we lost but at least we know others wont have to go through the grief and pain we did.
Sounds like he was in places he should not have been. It's unfortunate. Aids is such a horrible affliction.
So sad he passed so early. ❤
“Just for a moment, I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain”
brings me to tears every time
👼🙏❤️
I TOTALLY FEEL YOU ON THAT
I CRY AS WELL,THE LYRICS ARE SO REAL... LOVE Dan's music
❤❤
Same, takes me back to my pains in high school. So poignant.....
Perfect Christmas song.
this song captures the human condition so well.
Songs like this have so much meaning…..Straight to the heart. I feel so lucky to have grown up in this era where songs really touched my life.
The 70's Was The Decade of Songwriting!
We lost him way too young
Clearly, Dan had the heart of a poet and unmatched talent. From what I know of him, he also had his demons. Much of his music has a somewhat darker side to it, although most of it is very beautiful.
@@johnsteel3151 Totally agree!! Rest peacefully Dan!! Thanks for all the beautiful music you left us!! ❤🙏🙏🙏❤
This is one of my all time favorite songs. I was twenty years old when I first heard this song. My parents had divorced and I moved with my Mom to a new life. I'm in my sixties now and this song still brings bittersweet memories.
This song reminds me of all the mistakes I've made in my life and the heartache I caused others. It is hard to listen too without my heart aching a little.
All of our hearts ache a little! I suppose it let's us know we still have one.
@@nickie7874 Yeah
It reminds me of the same exact thing's in my life but I've been able to undo the bad decisions that I made as a young man.
@@hawk3018 You don't have to undo them. I can't undo my bad decisions, either, but I accept that I did stoopid shit. God Bless.
Exactly right ! Thanks for saying this
im a 49 year ol blackmale. i sang a cover of same auld lang syne on the starmaker app,last week,, i ranked #1 for the day,currently have 192 plays and 127 likes. i love some dan fogelberg. with his jammin ass. ill miss him.. rest in heaven bro.i appreciate the music,and becoming a part of your creation.
Great songs exist without reference to color. Would love to hear your rendition of this. Great song.
Good music transcends the cultural divides that people craving power use to separate us.
I'm a black man too bro .. and this song breaks me every time
It seems like yesterday that I was determined to ask my high school sweetheart to marry me at Christmas time and this song was playing on the radio. Of course I "chickened" out. Life took us in various directions but, years later we reconnected after other relationships faded. Fast forward 22+ years later and we are married and I am with the person I was always meant to be with.
Any song that can make you smile and cry simultaneously is a true masterpiece..........and Dan was a true artist.
Life is full of bitter sweet - all depends on how we want to balance our memories...
These situations could always end differently, positively. People who really have something deep for each other are often reluctant, think it will re-complicate their life, stubborn, or too lazy to reach for and -grasp it. So often, they never, ever find anyone as special as the one they let walk away. I know this personally.
❤
You are so right.
It’s August, 2024 and just like that I am back to a time when my first love and I reconnected. This song is so powerful and beautiful because we want to hold those memories forever. Thank you Dan, for the words and the songs. Rest easy in Heaven and know that we still love you. ❤
If you believe in time travel here it is! Enjoy those memories!
What makes this song so special is the realness of first loves or high school sweethearts. Not just for Dan but for all of us. How many of you have come across an old friend or flame in public and not remember them at first? Then running up to them and remembering and laughing away the years. Well Dan Fogelberg captured that Spot On. If this happens to you today, don't forget to get addresses, phone #'s or emails.
This song is pretty close to what happened to me. The difference being I never became a famous entertainer when my old flame and I crossed paths. She was the one that got away and I almost never got ove her and at the time it happened I still wasn't completely over her and it had been close to 10 years. We were childhood and high school sweethearts. Ee broke up because she moved away and then married less than a year later. Would I was devastated. Years later I was between jobs so I moved back to my hometown and was tending bar at a local tavern. It was around Christmas holidays and I was working. She was in town and happened to stop in the bar. It wasn't busy with only a couple regulars hanging out and one woman (a freind of mines wife Patty) after listening to us talk about the past happened to say, "I can't believe you two never got married!" It hit me like a ton of bricks and she began to shed tears. Patty apologized though no apology was necessary Since that night I listen to this song every Holiday and just smile. I have no regrets. I have a wonderful daughter by another woman and my daughter might never have been born otherwise, so I don't live in the past except for once or twice during Christmas listening to this song.
Mine is on my Facebook..
I was fortunate to see Fogelberg scheduled outside Raleigh NC in late 80"s. The arena which could seat 8,000 only about 300 of Fogelberg fans were there. His true spirit was incredible as he and band put on a 2 hour plus concert as we all were standing and applauding. Incredible experience.
They don’t make em like this anymore RIP DAN. ❤😢
bought a six pack at the liquor store and we drank it in the car! priceless!!!
So true.
It reminds me of my first love..😢😢😢
Me too
Where are the Dan Fogelberg's of today? Where?? I will never get tired of listening to him. RIP
I agree. We need more storytellers.
Gone at 56 much too soon. Thanks for your many contributions, and to the lives your music touched. RIP
"just for a moment I was back at school, and felt that old familiar pain" - as I remind my baby boomer friends, there's a little bit of teenager in all of us... thanks Dan for reminding us...
Yes. And the pain, ultimately, is no different for the conceited jocks, as it was for the rest of us.
I, too am a boomer. We played this every year at our family Christmas Eve gathering.Thanks for the memories, Dan.
What a heartbreak. True story. For so many, in different ways.
He gave a voice to our pain. And set us free from it. RIP
I cry every single time!! We all have that one special love!!!
True
Drove past Tony's market today. I think of Danny every time I do. Great songwriter and singer.
A great song. Brings me back to my college days in the early 80's. How could anyone give this timeless song a thumbs down? RIP Dan.
Me too, college early 80's. Still one of my favorites
Still I can't believe he is gone.the leader of the band reunited with his son.i miss you dan.thank you for this timeless song.in my heart forever
dan singing this in heaven tonight.
Every year around Christmas I listen to this song and it paints a clear picture in my mind. It brings up memories of girlfriends past, lovers with no name. We are all traveling this same incredible journey but the meaning of it all gets clouded with our daily stress. This year there are no friends dropping by, no parties where we meet new ones, and as I sit reflecting back on 2020 I find it more difficult to enjoy this song. There just is no human interaction, no spontaneity and happiness. It's been a sad year, the 1st like it in my 43 years. There is a clarity that arises from our situation, that it is the people and relationships in our lives that add true value, not possessions or things we can buy. My hope is that as our world works its way through Covid19 the old saying 'what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger' will ring true the world over. Here's to better days!
💕
I DO THE EXACT same thing !! We're all men and we have emotional situations like every one else!!
Well said...
Happy new years and MERRY CHRISTMAS 2022
Yes
This is one of those songs that will go on and live forever.
That's what great song s do
Agreed! It will!
Whenever I walk in the snow I go slow and sing this!
At 74 I often think could of, would of, should of but then I think that’s Life. I am so thankful for memories. Thankful for those I met, those I lost, and those I loved. Makes us reaffirm our priorities and what love really means. As we go though this coronavirus quarantine let’s not forget where our memories are at this time. Life is good, friends are great, but love beats all. HIS blessings on all of us. Life is a mix of the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Thanks for summing it up! I live with many regrets but it's time to reassess and appreciate where i am in my life.
No matter how many times I hear this song, my eyes water.
Because you care. Nuff said
Something about this song still makes me cry.
Must be the words.
ALWAYS.
Grew up with this song😪💯❤️❤️
The moments of nostalgia that we all had...
Me to
It's Christmas Eve and I'm playing this as usual because it just would not be Christmas Eve without this! I think it's the most beautiful love song ever written.
After 40 years, this song still makes me feel empty. Dan, one of the finest songs of our time!!!!
Thirty eight years later and this song still gives me goosebumps....great song from a talented artist! So sad he passed 10 years on now...
It still makes me cry
Same here--it makes me bawl every single time and I'm proud to admit that. @@kimberlymurphy6120
Thirty-eight years: a magical number in my life.
@@mikeysuzefour an awesome song I was in Dallas TX 1st time I ever heard this song and it was on a snowy winter December night in Judge Beans Restaurant in north Dallas
Love all Dan's songs and it makes me sad so many singers of DAN'S ERA LIKE HIM HAVE PASSED AWAY TOO YOUNG
RIP Dan. Your music will live on forever for those of us that truly enjoyed this song especially and many of your other songs.
My Wife's favorite singer! Dated my wife and we listen to his song's over and over. Yes, We made love to them too. Been married almost 40 years. R.I.P. Dan Fogelberg. Thanks, For all those Great song's and Many, Many wonderful memories. Love You Jennifer! Shawn.
The Sax at the very end. makes this song one of the all time greats.
In tribute to Fogelberg and the Fogelberg family, the city of Peoria, Illinois - his hometown - renamed Abington Street in the city's East Bluff neighborhood "Fogelberg Parkway." The street runs along the northeast side of Woodruff High School, Fogelberg's alma mater, and where his father was a teacher and bandleader. "Fogelberg Parkway" continues northwest, then west, to the intersection of N. Prospect and E. Frye, the location of the convenience store where Fogelberg ran into his old high school sweetheart one Christmas Eve - a chance encounter described in the song "Same Old Lang Syne."
Dan's dad. Lawrence, was a teacher and band director at Pekin High School, about 30 minutes from Peoria, not Woodruff High School.
@@DesertMusicEntDJs He taught at Woodruff also:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Fogelberg
Dan's father was the band director and coach of the Noteables competition singing group at Pekin Community HS. NOT gang banging Woodruff. I went to Pekin Community HS during his Tenure.
@@banditdarval9401 he was a teacher at woodruff high before Pekin . Better fact check before writing it down .
Thanks for this information. To know that that store where this magical in counter happened is still there and to have a street named in Dan’s honor really make it that much more special. RIP Dan.
I'm 58 and it gets me everytime
A song many of us 'wrote' about a special person from our past, which is why, and how Dan's words became our own. What a gift he had and was. You are so missed.

🙏🏻Rest In Peace Dan Fogelberg🙏🏻
🕊You may be gone from this earth but you will never be forgotten🕊
Dan sang this like no to tomorrow--tearing it up at 3:13….
I think everyone can relate to the words of this song.
everyone ???
Well, anyone with feelings...
8cat18 True that...
agreed
yes. god bless us all.. so many roads.. so many left not chosen.
There's nothing like this song whatsoever😂 Year round ❤
When music was music, many of us relate about lost loves but never forgotten!! Thank you Dan!!
My father loved this man. We listened to him growing up. This song brings tears to my eyes every year. Now that my dad passed in 2020 so suddenly I listen to Dan fogelburg more often than ever. This song in particular plays every Christmas and when I sing, my heart breaks. This music is beautiful. I wish I could thank and hug this man for making my father as happy as he was then.
My wife’s twin sister passed away back in March from Covid. This was her favorite song. I heard it today and brought back such sad memories of her passing. Rest in Peace Bobble!
God rest my dear wife. Sad memories. I miss her.
Jesus, the live version of this takes the song to another level... goosebumps and tears....
Amen, love this version.
I was actually a bit disappointed. I found the vocal too different from the original. Sounded like someone else.
There was nobody like Dan. Blessings 😢😢😢
The line about "that old familiar pain" always almost drives me my knees.
How is he not in the Hof for all rockers.
I’m 68 trough in two conflicts and this song makes that stuff run out my eyes I lost her in 83 and been all alone every since. I miss her she was my wife. The Army life was too much on Kathy Jones Beals. Love ya still pray for you daily hope your happy..
I just turned 70, and I cried too. Beautiful song - most of us had a relationship that was important to us, but either the other person wanted more - can't do much about it. I appreciated the 4 years with her, but someone else caught her eye. I still love the lady, but that's life. 😊
A song about what this country has lost raw innocence
I am 36 years old,but I like this song too much.
A toast to innocence......Happy New Year 2024!
On my way to work this morning and this awesome song plays on the radio. Christmas songs don't make me cry, but this morning my eyes filled with tears and I just couldn't stop them! Now mind you, I'm on my way to work and I've got get myself together for a days work! Listened to the song all the way through and after I stopped crying and dried my eyes, I finally felt in the Christmas spirit! Auld Lang syne breaks my heart every 💔 single time I hear it, but I love this song!
This is truly a heartfelt song and Dan Fogelburg had the voice of an angel. He is greatly missed.❤️😢
The woman he sings about heard it on the radio for the first time on her way to work - it was released five years after that chance encounter and she didn’t know he was coming out with the song. She only listened a minute or so when realized it was her he was singing about. That would be weird!
Want another one? Fairytale of New York, by the Pogues.
I love Dan Fogelberg...put him up there with the Eagles, Elton John and My love....George Straight.
I had one girl in my life that I wish to see her again. Lori, I miss you.
Lord, I miss my hubby...one of the songs we learned to love together. He was called home after 36 years together (34 married); still cry AND SMILE every time I hear this song. Thanks, Dan...glad he's got you there with him.
L. Doc. So very sorry for your loss ,... I lost my husband May3rd,2019 .... It’s Tough ,especially this time of year ,,
with you there, widda sis; also Harry Nilsson songs
L. Dougherty, I lost my wife of 37 years. When we first got together she introduced me to Dan's music, named our dog after him!. We listened to him for years together and I too, cry and smile, when I hear Dan sing, and it tears at my heart and I miss her so much. Best to you.
At least you had that long. I had only three months with my soul mate then he broke up with me.
I am 70 as well. A lot of memories are brought back.
Fortunately for me, I married my only sweetheart...if I hadn't this song will kill me, now I just cry.
GEN X,1965 here.We MISS YOU DAN FOGELBERG! We're working hard here on planet 🌏 to get you inducted into the RRHOF.My husband Keith crossed over in 2017,would you tell him your wife Jean and I correspond frequently over both your familiar cancer battles and our current state of being WIDOWED.See you both somewhere over the 🌈 rainbow💞💞
The legend has left this world but his songs remain deep in our heart, always, so beautifully written and sang 👏👏👏
I had this happen to me ! Its so sad we lost Dan to Cancer ! I 😢 cry
I'm a 60's baby...
I 😍 this song soooooo much.
Miss you Mr. Fogleberg
Hi Handsome Larry
@@robynhawkins48 Hello ! Merry Christmas
My simply beautiful comment was for your bbn pic!!! Feliz !!!!
I'll be 69 in January. I've loved the way Dan Fogelberg sang this song. But, I just love this song.
And I do cry.😢😢
The saxophone is crying through the lyrics of Auld Lang Syne more than words could say ,sends chills and tears listening on this new years eve
@@petersantoro5323 I thought it was a sax ,? sounded like the instrument really feels the lyrics, like the sax on Leonard Cohen's Bird On A Wire.
Not good on wind instruments what was it.
Barbara Harris ..It’s an Oboe !. Sounds a lot like a Sax !.......
Clarinet maybe?
@@kathywollam32 Soprano Sax.
I’m in my mid 50’s, had some beautiful intimate moments with a few amazing men. Married, then divorced, sometimes it didn’t work out. Recently I ran into the one who got away when I was in my 20’s. I never stopped thinking about him. We are back in touch & I feel 20 again. My eyes are sparkling blue since we reconnected. This tune resonates with me so much more right now. Wish me luck & another shot at not letting him get away this time.
I absolutely love this song - brings tears to my eyes. Great job by Dan Fogelberg - may he Rest In Peace!
Oh My. My heart is bursting with love and longing. Thank you Dan. RIP
This is a powerful song when it DOES describe something that people CAN relate to. Howard Jones' song No one is to blame, does that for me, one line in it, you're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win, that happened to me...
There are no musicians like him anymore.
Definitely captured high school heartbreak, whatever the circumstances..
That's the emptiest song I've ever heard.
Im 62 and this song brings tears everytime I hear it
This song always makes me reflect on my life. Mostly good memories. Some painful. By God’s grace, I’m in a good place today. Healthy, happy with few regrets and hopefully many years ahead.
