Those Were The Days/Melanie Safka

Once upon a time there was a tavern 
Where we used to raise a glass or two 
Remember how we laughed away the hours 
Drinking 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 pick the life we choose 
We'd fight and never lose 
For we were young and 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 
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 forever and a day 
We'd pick the life we choose 
We'd fight and never lose 
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 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 pick 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 
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 forever and a day 
We'd pick 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 
We'd pick 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 
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la la la 
La la la la la la
