|
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 for-ever 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. |
|
Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala |
|
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 soldier really me. |
|
Those were the days my friend, |
|
We thought they'd never end, |
|
We'd sing and dance for-ever 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. |
|
Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala |
|
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 for-ever 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. |
|
Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala |
