Those Were The Days Songtext

Once upon a time there was a tavernWhere we used to raise a glass or twoRemember how we laughed away the hours,And dreamed of all the great things we would doChorus:Those were the days my friendWe thought they'd never endWe'd sing and dance forever and a dayWe'd live the life we choseWe'd fight and never loseFor we were young and sure to have our wayLa la la la la laLa la la la la laThose were the daysOh yes those were the daysThen the busy years went rushing by usWe lost our starry notions on the wayIf by chance I'd see you in the tavernWe'd smile at one another and we'd sayThose were the days...Just tonight I stood before the tavernothing seemed the way it used to beIn the glass I saw a strange reflectionWas that lonely woman really me?Those were the days...Through the door there came familiar laughterI saw your face and heard you call my nameOh my friends were older but no wiserFor in our hearts the dreams are still the sameThose were the days...
