Engelbert Humperdinck - Those Were The Days Lyrics
Once upon a time there was a tavernWhere we used to raise a glass or twoRemember how we laughed away the hoursAnd dreamed of all the great things we would doThose were the days, my friendWe thought they'd never endWe'd sing and dance forever and a dayWe'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never loseFor we were young and sure to have our wayLa la la la la la, La la la la la laThose were the daysOh yes, those were the daysThen the busy years went rushing by usWe lost our starry notions on the wayIf by chance, I'd see you in the tavernWe'd smile at one another, and we'd sayThose were the days, my friendWe thought they'd never endWe'd sing and dance forever and a dayWe'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never loseFor we were young and sure to have our wayLa la la la la la, La la la la la laThose were the daysOh yes, those were the daysJust tonight I stood before the tavernNothing seemed the way it used to beIn the glass I saw a strange reflectionWas that lonely man really meThose were the days, my friendWe thought they'd never endWe'd sing and dance forever and a dayWe'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never loseFor we were young and sure to have our wayLa la la la la la, La la la la la laLa la la la....La la la la la la, La la la la la laLa la la la....Through the door there came familiar laughterI saw your face and heard you call my nameOh, my friend, we're older but no wiserFor in our hearts the dreams are still the sameThose were the days, my friendWe thought they'd never endWe'd sing and dance forever and a dayWe'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never loseFor we were young and sure to have our wayLa la la la la la, La la la la la laLa la la la....La la la la la la, La la la la la laLa la la la....
