Those Were The Days

 

1.

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 would 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 la - la 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 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 .….

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 person really me?

 

Those were the days, my friend …..

There I heard the echo of our laughter,

Heard the cheery voices 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 …..

……….....

 

Oh yes, those were the days.
