Lyrics 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 and dreamed 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 forever 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
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
Then the busy years went 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 forever 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
La la la la
La la la la la la
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
But in my glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face
I 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 thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever 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
Those were the days
Those were the days
Those were the days
Those were the days, my friend we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever 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
Oh yes, those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
