Released as a single in 1980 and included on Fogelberg's 1981 album The Innocent Age, “Same Old Lang Syne” has become a beloved classic over the years, particularly around the holidays, as it tells the tale of a pair of former high school sweethearts who happen to run into each other at the grocery store on Christmas Eve.
The beer was empty, and our tongues were tired / And running out of things to say / She gave a kiss to me as I got out / And I watched her drive away
As someone whose breakups inspired some of the most moving songs of all time, Nicks once cited "Same Old Lang Syne" as a song with the ability to bring her to tears every time.
“And you meet them and you're older, but that's when you go ‘Real love never dies,'" Nicks continued. "Because it doesn't matter that they're older and it doesn't matter that they don't look exactly like they did when they were nineteen. They still have that light that attracted you in the beginning, and you feel that."

Though she waited until after Fogelberg's death from prostate cancer in 2007, the real woman in the song, Jill Anderson, confirmed the Christmas Eve encounter in an interview with the Peoria Journal Star.
Like Nicks said, real love never dies.
