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… | |
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 | |
For we were young and sure to have our way. | |
La la la la… | |
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 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… | |
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 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… | |
Those were the days, oh yes 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 | |
