Once upon a time there was a tavern |
| [00:30.120] |
Where we used to raise a glass or two |
| [00:35.190] |
Remember how we laughed away the hours |
| [00:40.450] |
And dreamed of all the great things we would do |
| [00:45.240] |
Those were the days my friend |
| [00:49.130] |
We thought they’d never end |
| [00:51.560] |
We’d sing and dance forever and a day |
| [00:56.690] |
We’d live the life we choose |
| [00:59.100] |
We’d fight and never lose |
| [01:02.040] |
For we were young and sure to have our way. |
| [01:05.980] |
La la la la… |
| [01:12.410] |
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days |
| [01:18.440] |
|
| [01:18.880] |
Then the busy years went rushing by us |
| [01:23.360] |
We lost our starry notions on the way |
| [01:28.740] |
If by chance I’d see you in the tavern |
| [01:33.740] |
We’d smile at one another and we’d say |
| [01:38.530] |
Those were the days my friend |
| [01:42.280] |
We thought they’d never end |
| [01:44.830] |
We’d sing and dance forever and a day |
| [01:49.910] |
We’d live the life we choose |
| [01:52.700] |
We’d fight and never lose |
| [01:55.200] |
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days |
| [02:00.560] |
La la la la… |
| [02:14.870] |
Just tonight I stood before the tavern |
| [02:19.780] |
Nothing seemed the way it used to be |
| [02:25.390] |
In the glass I saw a strange reflection |
| [02:30.310] |
Was that lonely woman really me |
| [02:35.370] |
Through the door there came familiar laughter |
| [02:41.930] |
I saw your face and heard you call my name |
| [02:47.020] |
Oh my friend we’re older but no wiser |
| [02:52.140] |
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same |
| [02:59.740] |
Those were the days my friend |
| [03:03.390] |
We thought they’d never end |
| [03:06.100] |
We’d sing and dance forever and a day |
| [03:11.290] |
We’d live the life we choose |
| [03:13.870] |
We’d fight and never lose |
| [03:16.510] |
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days |
| [03:22.610] |
Those were the days |
| [03:30.860] |
|
| [04:03.820] |
Those were the days my friend |
| [04:07.320] |
We thought they’d never end |
| [04:09.700] |
We’d sing and dance forever and a day |
| [04:15.240] |
We’d live the life we choose |
| [04:17.730] |
We’d fight and never lose |
| [04:20.340] |
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days |
| [04:25.160] |
Oh yes were the days |
| [04:27.260] |
Oh yes were the days |
| [04:29.750] |
Oh yes were the days |
| [04:34.750] |
