Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days lyrics

Your rating:

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think 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.

Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalalala.

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
Those were the days oh yes
Those were the days

Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalalala.

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflections
Was the 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 chose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days oh yes
Those were the days.

Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalalala.

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friends were older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

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.

Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalalala.
