[00:01.77] |
Once upon a time |
[00:03.44] |
There was a tavern |
[00:07.65] |
Where we used to raise a glass or two |
[00:13.10] |
Remember how we laughed away the hours |
[00:18.74] |
And dreamed of all the great things we would do? |
[00:25.43] |
Then the busy years went rushing by us |
[00:31.42] |
We lost our starry notions on the way |
[00:37.67] |
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern |
[00:43.30] |
We'd smile at one another and we'd say |
[00:52.68] |
Those were the days my friend |
[00:56.57] |
We thought they'd never end |
[00:59.39] |
We'd sing and dance forever and a day |
[01:05.28] |
We'd live the life we choose |
[01:08.02] |
We'd fight and never lose |
[01:10.92] |
For we were young and sure to have our way |
[01:17.05] |
Di Di Di Di... |
[01:22.37] |
Those were the days |
[01:24.80] |
oh yes those were the days |
[01:32.55] |
Just tonight I stood before the tavern. |
[01:38.59] |
Nothing seemed the way it used to be |
[01:44.69] |
In the glass I saw a strange reflection |
[01:50.57] |
Was the lonely woman really me? |
[01:59.60] |
Those were the days, my friend. |
[02:03.39] |
We thought they d never end |
[02:06.23] |
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day |
[02:11.87] |
We'd live the life we choose |
[02:14.61] |
We'd fight and never lose |
[02:17.43] |
For we were young and sure to have our way |
[02:23.19] |
Di Di Di Di... |
[02:28.88] |
Those were the days |
[02:30.84] |
oh yes those were the days |
[02:44.38] |
Through the door there came familiar laughter |
[02:50.57] |
I saw your face and heard you call my name |
[02:56.46] |
Oh, my friends, we are older but no wiser |
[03:02.10] |
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same |
[03:11.22] |
Those were the days, my friend |
[03:15.08] |
We thought they d never end |
[03:17.98] |
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day |
[03:23.66] |
We'd live the life we choose |
[03:26.51] |
We'd fight and never lose |
[03:29.35] |
For we were young and sure to have our way |
[03:33.97] |
Di Di Di Di... |
