Once 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
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
Then the busy years
went rushing by us
We lost our strong
emotions 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
Those were the days
oh yes those
were the days
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 woman
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
Those were the days
oh yes those
were the days
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
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
Those were the days
oh yes those
were the days
