Those Were The Days
Once upon a time there was a tavern,
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
think of all the great things we would do.

Those were the days my friend,
We thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance for-ever and a day,
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For we were young and sure to have our way.

Then the busy years when rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days my friend,
We thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance for-ever and a day,
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Just tonight I stood before the tavern,
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
Was that lonely woman really me.

Those were the days my friend,
We'd thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for-ever and a day
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Through the door there came familiar laughter.
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Those were the days my friend,
We'd thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for-ever and a day
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La-la-la la-la la, la-la-la la-la la
