Story Behind The Song
I was sitting in a hotel lobby
at Crown Center in Kansas City
watching people go by who all
were happy and laughing while this was my first New Year alone and as I watched the bubbles in my glass of champagne I thought of this
song.

Lyrics
Sitting by the firelight
Thinking how I feel tonight
Yellow, gold, and red,
Flicker round my head
In the cool clear night.
As ice colored stars look down
At the shadows on the ground.
I fill up my glass again.
Oh, White Champagne, please be
my friend.
Chorus:
Sparkling bubbles in a glass of White Champagne.
Make my troubles go away.
Everynight I watch the people
passing by.
Wonder why I feel this way.
Bridge:
Roses on the mantel's wilted
with the dying embers of a
love I used to know.
The night outside is crystal
clear.
Suddenly he feels so near.
As I stare at the shadows
on the wall.
Sparkling bubbles in a glass
of White Champagne
Make my troubles go away.
Every night I watch the people
passing by
Wonder why I feel this way.
Bridge:
Roses on the mantle's wilted
with the dying embers of
a love I used to know.
The night outside is crystal
clear.
Suddenly he feels so near
As I stare at the shadows
on the wall.
Repeat Chorus.
Repeat Bridge.
Oh White Champagne, his memory is here to stay.
Now I can dream of yesterday.
Make my troubles go away.
Make my troubles go away.
