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 thing 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 chose.
|
We'd fight and never lose,
|
For we were young and sure to have our way
|
|
Those were the days, my friend

We'd sing and dance forever and a day;

We'd live the life we chose.
|
We'd fight and never lose,
|
For we were young and sure to have our way.
|
Those were the days
|
Oh. yes, yester 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

We thought they'd never end.

We'd sing and dance forever and a day;

La la la la la la -----
|
Those were the days
|
Oh. yes, yester were the days.
|
|
Just tonight I stood before the tavern,
|
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
|
In the glass I saw a stranger reflection.
|
Was that lonely fellow really me?
|
|
Those were the days, my friend
|
We thought they'd never end.
|
We'd sing and dance forever and a day;

Oh. yes, yester were the days.

Those were the days

Oh. yes, yester were the days.

Those were the days

Oh. yes, yester were the days.
