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 forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
For we were young and sure to have our way!
Di di di di
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,
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection.
Was that lonely woman really me?
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di
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.
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di

Mary Hopkin - those were the days-68
Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Chorus:
Then, the busy years went rushing by us.
Those were the days, my friend!
Just tonight, I stood before the tavern.
Those were the days, my friend
Through the door, there came familiar laughter.
Those were the days, my friend!

OH MY GOSH!!! Does this bring back memories. I don't think I ever saw a picture of her.
ReplyDeleteLol, I know, we didn't have the Internet back then, which gives us access to all of this great information.
ReplyDeleteRemember the days, when everyone used to sing their own version of the lyrics. No one knew what the words really were, cause you couldn't make them out when they were being sung.
Now anyone can look them up online!
