[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Those were the days my friend We thought theyd never end Wed sing and dance forever and a day Wed live the life we choose Wed fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way La la la la Those were the days, oh yes those were the days [Verse 2] Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the way If by chance Id see you in the tavern Wed smile at one another and wed say [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 You might also like[Chorus] [Verse 4] Through the door there came familiar laughter I saw your face and heard you call my name Oh my friend were older but no wiser For in our hearts the dreams are still the same [Chorus]
