Those Were The Days

<br>Once upon a time there was a tavern where we used to raise a glass or two<br>Remember how we laughed away the hours<br>And dream of all the great things we would do<br>Those were the days my friend we thought they`d never end<br>We`d sing and dance forever and a day<br>We`d live the life we chose we`d fight and never lose<br>For we were young and sure to have our way<br>Then the busy years went rushing by us we lost our starry notions on the way<br>If by chance I`d see you in the tavern we`d smile at one another and we`d say<br>Those were the days my friend we thought they`d never end<br>We`d sing and dance forever and a day<br>We`d live the life we chose we`d fight and never lose<br>Those were the days oh yes those were the days<br><br>Just tonight I stood before the tavern nothing seemed the way it used to be<br>In the glass I saw a strange reflection was that lonely woman really me<br>Those were the days my friend...<br><br>Through the door there came familiar laughter<br>I saw your face and heard you call my name<br>Oh my friend we`re older but no wiser for in our hearts our dreams are still the same<br>Those were the days my friend...<br>La la la la la
