Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file
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 for ever 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
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 for ever 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
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 (fellow) really me
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for ever 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
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 for ever 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
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 for ever 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
