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...

00000

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...
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...

00000

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
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...
