Those Were the Days
Once upon a time, there was a tavern,Where we used to raise a glass or twoRemember how we laughed away the hoursAnd dreamed of all the great things we would doThen, the busy years went rushing by usWe lost our starry notions on the wayIf, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,We'd smile at one another and we'd sayThose were the days, my friendWe thought they'd never endWe'd sing and dance forever and a dayWe'd live the life we'd chooseWe'd fight, we'd never loseFor we were young and sure to have our wayDi di di di di diDi di di di di diThose were the days, oh yes, those were the daysJust tonight, I stood before the tavernNothing seemed the way it used to beIn the glass, I saw a strange reflectionWas that lonely fella really me?SongtexteThose were the days, my friendWe thought they'd never endWe'd sing and dance forever and a dayWe'd live the life we'd chooseWe'd fight and never loseFor we were young and sure to have our wayDi di di di di diDi di di di di diThose were the days, oh yes, those were the daysThrough the door, there came familiar laughterI saw your face and heard you call my nameOh, my friend, we're older but no wiserFor in our hearts, the dreams are still the sameThose were the days, my friendWe thought they'd never endWe'd sing and dance forever and a dayWe'd live the life we'd chooseWe'd fight and never loseFor we were young and sure to have our wayDi di di di di diDi di di di di diDi di di di di di di di di diDi di di di di diDi di di di di diDi di di di di di di di di diDi di di di di diDi di di di di diDi di di di di di di di di diDi di di di di diDi di di di di diDi di di di di di di di di di
