Those were the days

 

Those  were the days-Mary Hopkin

 

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`d choose
We`d fight and never lose

For we were young and sure to have our way
La-da-da da-da-da ..

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`d choose
We`d fight and never lose
