1
Once upon a time there was a tavern
2
Where we used to raise a glass or two
3
Remember how we laughed away the hours
4
And dreamed of all the great things we would do
5
[Chorus]
6
Those were the days my friend
7
We thought they'd never end
8
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
9
We'd live the life we choose
10
We'd fight and never lose
11
For we were young and sure to have our way.
12
La la la la,
13
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
14
Then the busy years went rushing by us
15
We lost our starry notions on the way
16
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
17
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
18
[Chorus]
19
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
20
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
21
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
22
Was that lonely woman really me
23
[Chorus]
24
Through the door there came familiar laughter
25
I saw your face and heard you call my name
26
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
27
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
28
[Chorus]
