Those Were the Days

Lyrics

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 Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we'd laugh away the hours And dream 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 la la La la la la la la La-la-la-la-la La la, la la la la 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 fellow 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 la la La la la la la la La-la-la-la-la La la, la la la la 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 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 la la La la la la la la La-la-la-la-la La la, la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La-la-la-la-la La la, la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La-la-la-la-la La la, la la la la
