THOSE WERE THE DAYS WRITER GENE RASKIN 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 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.
La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those
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 We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose For we were young and
sure to have our way. La la la la... Those were
the days, oh yes those were the days Just tonight

it used to be In the glass I saw a strange
reflection Was that 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 choose We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way. La la
la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were
the days Through the door there came familiar
laughter I saw your face and heard you call my
name Oh my friend we're 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
For we were young and sure to have our way. La la
la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were
the days
