Those Were the Days (Party mix) - Hermes House Band

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

Chorus:

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

'cause we were young and sure to have our way

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

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

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...

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 fellow really me?

Those were the days...
