THOSE WERE THE DAYS
"Mary Hopkin"



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 forever 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 La la la la, la la
la la la la la



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 live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose

La la la la la la La la la la
la la La la la la, la la la
la la la la



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 live 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 La la la la la la
La la la la la la La la la la, la la
la la la la la


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


La la la la la la La

la la la la la La la la la,

la la la la la la la
