Those Were the Days-Mary Hopkin/Jerry Butler

[00:15.86]Once upon a time there was a tavern [00:21.70]Where we used to raise a glass or two [00:27.13]Remember how we laughed away the hours [00:32.69]And dreamed of all the great things we would do [00:39.99]Those were the days my friend [00:43.92]We thought they'd never end [00:46.76]We'd sing and dance forever and a day [00:52.38]We'd live the life we choose [00:55.11]We'd fight and never lose [00:57.99]For we were young and sure to have our way [01:03.59]La la la la [01:19.25]Then the busy years went rushing by us [01:24.88]We lost our starry notions on the way [01:30.86]If by chance I'd see you in the tavern [01:36.03]We'd smile at one another and we'd say [01:43.31]Those were the days my friend [01:47.65]We thought they'd never end [01:50.50]We'd sing and dance forever and a day [01:56.06]We'd live the life we choose [01:58.93]We'd fight and never lose [02:01.73]Those were the days [02:04.40]Oh yes those were the days [02:06.92]La la la la [02:23.47]Just tonight I stood before the tavern [02:29.24]Nothing seemed the way it used to be [02:35.11]In the glass I saw a strange reflection [02:40.71]Was that lonely woman really me [02:48.17]Those were the days my friend [02:52.41]We thought they'd never end [02:55.23]We'd sing and dance forever and a day [03:00.71]We'd live the life we choose [03:03.46]We'd fight and never lose [03:06.06]Those were the days [03:08.20]Oh yes those were the days [03:11.67]La la la la [03:47.76]Through the door there came familiar laughter [03:53.29]I saw your face and heard you call my name [03:59.42]Oh my friend we're older but no wiser [04:04.99]For in our hearts the dreams are still the same [04:12.20]Those were the days my friend [04:16.83]We thought they'd never end [04:19.65]We'd sing and dance forever and a day [04:25.12]We'd live the life we choose [04:27.76]We'd fight and never lose [04:30.52]Those were the days [04:32.58]Oh yes those were the day [04:34.94]La la la la
