Those Were the Days Lyrics

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 live we'd choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For were young and sure to have our way....
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,
In the glass I saw a strange reflection,
Was that lonely fellow really me?

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 live we'd choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For were young and sure to have our way....
La La La La La La, La La La La La La

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name,
Oh, my friends 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 for ever and a day.
We'd live the live we'd choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
For were young and sure to have our way....
La La La La La La, La La La La La La
