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
Chorus:
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'll 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
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on our way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'll smile at one another and we'll say
Repeat chorus
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 (fellow) really me?
Repeat chorus
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 our dreams are still the same
Repeat chorus
