Those Were the Days LyricsOnce upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think 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 for-ever 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
Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala
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 soldier really me
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for-ever 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
Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala
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 for-ever 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
Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala
