Those Were The Days

[00:01.01] Those Were The Days - Mary Hopkin - 1969

[00:14.14] ♪

[00:15.30] Once upon a time there was a tavern

[00:22.07] Where we used to raise a glass or two

[00:27.60] Remember how we laughed away the hours

[00:33.60] And think about the great things we would do

[00:39.26] Those were the days my friend

[00:44.29] We thought they'd never end

[00:47.55] We'd sing and dance forever and a day

[00:52.51] We'd live the life we choose

[00:55.55] We'd fight and never lose

[00:58.54] For we were young and sure to have our way.

[01:04.28] La la la la...

[01:18.76] Then the busy years went rushing by us

[01:24.18] We lost our starry notions on the way

[01:31.11] If by chance I'd see you in the tavern

[01:35.59] We'd smile at one another and we'd say

[01:44.41] Those were the days my friend

[01:48.25] We thought they'd never end

[01:50.36] We'd sing and dance forever and a day

[01:57.24] We'd live the life we choose

[02:00.01] We'd fight and never lose

[02:02.13] Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

[02:07.20] La la la la...

[02:23.23] Just tonight I stood before the tavern

[02:29.11] Nothing seemed the way it used to be

[02:35.00] In the glass I saw a strange reflection

[02:41.32] Was that lonely woman really me

[02:48.29] Those were the days my friend

[02:53.61] We thought they'd never end

[02:56.63] We'd sing and dance forever and a day

[03:01.46] We'd live the life we choose

[03:04.28] We'd fight and never lose

[03:07.27] Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

[03:12.06] La la la la...

[03:48.56] Through the door there came familiar laughter

[03:54.41] I saw your face and heard you call my name

[03:59.72] Oh my friend we're older but no wiser

[04:05.32] For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

[04:13.53] Those were the days my friend

[04:17.74] We thought they'd never end

[04:20.99] We'd sing and dance forever and a day

[04:26.26] We'd live the life we choose

[04:29.09] We'd fight and never lose

[04:31.32] Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

[04:36.17] La la la la...
