| [00:14.000] |
Once upon a time there was a tavern |
| [00:22.070] |
Where we used to raise a glass or two |
| [00:28.600] |
Remember how we laughed away the hours |
| [00:33.600] |
And think about the great things we would do |
| [00:39.260] |
Those were the days my friend |
| [00:44.290] |
We thought they'd never end |
| [00:47.550] |
We'd sing and dance forever and a day |
| [00:52.510] |
We'd live the life we choose |
| [00:55.550] |
We'd fight and never lose |
| [00:58.540] |
For we were young and sure to have our way. |
| [01:02.580] |
La la la la... |
| [01:18.530] |
Then the busy years went rushing by us |
| [01:24.180] |
We lost our starry notions on the way |
| [01:29.710] |
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern |
| [01:34.990] |
We'd smile at one another and we'd say |
| [01:44.410] |
Those were the days my friend |
| [01:48.390] |
We thought they'd never end |
| [01:51.360] |
We'd sing and dance forever and a day |
| [01:57.240] |
We'd live the life we choose |
| [02:00.250] |
We'd fight and never lose |
| [02:03.230] |
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days |
| [02:07.230] |
La la la la... |
| [02:23.230] |
Just tonight I stood before the tavern |
| [02:29.110] |
Nothing seemed the way it used to be |
| [02:35.000] |
In the glass I saw a strange reflection |
| [02:41.320] |
Was that lonely woman really me |
| [02:47.580] |
Those were the days my friend |
| [02:53.410] |
We thought they'd never end |
| [02:56.680] |
We'd sing and dance forever and a day |
| [03:01.660] |
We'd live the life we choose |
| [03:04.680] |
We'd fight and never lose |
| [03:07.670] |
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days |
| [03:11.660] |
La la la la... |
| [03:48.560] |
Through the door there came familiar laughter |
| [03:54.410] |
I saw your face and heard you call my name |
| [03:59.720] |
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser |
| [04:05.320] |
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same |
| [04:13.530] |
Those were the days my friend |
| [04:18.740] |
We thought they'd never end |
| [04:21.990] |
We'd sing and dance forever and a day |
| [04:27.260] |
We'd live the life we choose |
| [04:30.290] |
We'd fight and never lose |
| [04:33.270] |
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days |
| [04:37.270] |
La la la la... |
