Those Were The Days歌词

[00:01.77]Once upon a time
[00:03.44]There was a tavern
[00:07.65]Where we used to raise a glass or two
[00:13.10]Remember how we laughed away the hours
[00:18.74]And dreamed of all the great things we would do?
[00:25.43]Then the busy years went rushing by us
[00:31.42]We lost our starry notions on the way
[00:37.67]If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
[00:43.30]We'd smile at one another and we'd say
[00:52.68]Those were the days my friend
[00:56.57]We thought they'd never end
[00:59.39]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[01:05.28]We'd live the life we choose
[01:08.02]We'd fight and never lose
[01:10.92]For we were young and sure to have our way
[01:17.05]Di Di Di Di...
[01:22.37]Those were the days
[01:24.80]oh yes those were the days
[01:32.55]Just tonight I stood before the tavern.
[01:38.59]Nothing seemed the way it used to be
[01:44.69]In the glass I saw a strange reflection
[01:50.57]Was the lonely fellow really me?
[01:59.60]Those were the days, my friend.
[02:03.39]We thought they d never end
[02:06.23]We'd sing and dance for ever and a day
[02:11.87]We'd live the life we choose
[02:14.61]We'd fight and never lose
[02:17.43]For we were young and sure to have our way
[02:23.19]Di Di Di Di...
[02:28.88]Those were the days
[02:30.84]oh yes those were the days
[02:44.38]Through the door there came familiar laughter
[02:50.57]I saw your face and heard you call my name
[02:56.46]Oh, my friends, we are older but no wiser
[03:02.10]For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
[03:11.22]Those were the days, my friend
[03:15.08]We thought they d never end
[03:17.98]We'd sing and dance for ever and a day
[03:23.66]We'd live the life we choose
[03:26.51]We'd fight and never lose
[03:29.35]For we were young and sure to have our way
[03:33.97]Di Di Di Di...
