 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 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
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
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
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
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 man 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 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 friend, 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....
