[00:14.000]Once upon a time there was a tavern
[00:22.070]Where we used to raise a glass or two
[00:28.600]Remember how we laughed away the hours
[00:33.600]And think about the great things we would do
[00:39.260]Those were the days my friend
[00:44.290]We thought they'd never end
[00:47.550]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[00:52.510]We'd live the life we choose
[00:55.550]We'd fight and never lose
[00:58.540]For we were young and sure to have our way.
[01:02.580]La la la la...
[01:18.530]Then the busy years went rushing by us
[01:24.180]We lost our starry notions on the way
[01:29.710]If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
[01:34.990]We'd smile at one another and we'd say
[01:44.410]Those were the days my friend
[01:48.390]We thought they'd never end
[01:51.360]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[01:57.240]We'd live the life we choose
[02:00.250]We'd fight and never lose
[02:03.230]Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
[02:07.230]La la la la...
[02:23.230]Just tonight I stood before the tavern
[02:29.110]Nothing seemed the way it used to be
[02:35.000]In the glass I saw a strange reflection
[02:41.320]Was that lonely woman really me
[02:47.580]Those were the days my friend
[02:53.410]We thought they'd never end
[02:56.680]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[03:01.660]We'd live the life we choose
[03:04.680]We'd fight and never lose
[03:07.670]Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
[03:11.660]La la la la...
[03:48.560]Through the door there came familiar laughter
[03:54.410]I saw your face and heard you call my name
[03:59.720]Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
[04:05.320]For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
[04:13.530]Those were the days my friend
[04:18.740]We thought they'd never end
[04:21.990]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[04:27.260]We'd live the life we choose
[04:30.290]We'd fight and never lose
[04:33.270]Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
[04:37.270]La la la la...
