Текст песни Those Were The Days

(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.

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 chose we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days oh yes those were the days

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely follow 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.

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.

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friends we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts our 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.

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.

La la la la la...
