0:16Once upon a time there was a tavern
0:22Where we used to raise a glass or two
0:27Remember how we laughed away the hours
0:33And dreamed of all the great things we would do
0:40Those were the days my friend
0:44We thought they'd never end
0:47We'd sing and dance forever and a day
0:53We'd live the life we choose
0:55We'd fight and never lose
0:58For we were young and sure to have our way
1:04La la la la
1:19Then the busy years went rushing by us
1:25We lost our starry notions on the way
1:31If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
1:37We'd smile at one another and we'd say
1:44Those were the days my friend
1:48We thought they'd never end
1:51We'd sing and dance forever and a day
1:56We'd live the life we choose
1:59We'd fight and never lose
2:02Those were the days
2:05Oh yes those were the days
2:07La la la la
2:23Just tonight I stood before the tavern
2:29Nothing seemed the way it used to be
2:35In the glass I saw a strange reflection
2:41Was that lonely woman really me
2:48Those were the days my friend
2:53We thought they'd never end
2:55We'd sing and dance forever and a day
3:01We'd live the life we choose
3:04We'd fight and never lose
3:06Those were the days
3:08Oh yes those were the days
3:12La la la la
3:48Through the door there came familiar laughter
3:53I saw your face and heard you call my name
4:00Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
4:05For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
4:13Those were the days my friend
4:17We thought they'd never end
4:20We'd sing and dance forever and a day
4:25We'd live the life we choose
4:28We'd fight and never lose
4:31Those were the days
4:33Oh yes those were the day
4:35La la la la
