 ♪
 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, my friend"
 We thought they'd never end
 We'd sing and dance forever 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
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la
 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 woman really me?
 Through the door there came familiar laughter
 I saw your face and heard you call my name
 Oh, my friends, 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 forever and a day
 We'd live the life we choose
 We'd fight and never lose
 Those were the days
 Oh, yes, those were the days
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la
 La, la, la, la, la, la
