Those Were The Days

 

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 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 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.

Lie lie lie lie la lie, La la la lie la lie
La la la lie la lie la lie la lie

La la la lie la lie, lie la la lie la lie

La la la lie lei lei lie lie lie lie

​

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
And if by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

 

Chorus
 

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

 

Chorus

 

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

 

Chorus
