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...
|
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...
|
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 shadow really me...
