[00:14.57]Once upon a time there was a tavern
[00:20.05]Where we used to raise a glass or two
[00:25.09]Remember how we laughed away the hours
[00:30.59]And dreamed of all the great things we would do
[00:38.11]Those were the days, my friend
[00:42.52]We thought they'd never end
[00:45.29]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[00:50.37]We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
[00:55.34]For we were young and sure to have our way
[01:00.33]La la la la la la, La la la la la la
[01:05.31]Those were the days
[01:07.31]Oh yes, those were the days
[01:14.92]Then the busy years went rushing by us
[01:19.77]We lost our starry notions on the way
[01:25.39]If by chance, I'd see you in the tavern
[01:30.83]We'd smile at one another, and we'd say
[01:38.18]Those were the days, my friend
[01:42.66]We thought they'd never end
[01:45.02]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[01:50.32]We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
[01:55.16]For we were young and sure to have our way
[02:00.19]La la la la la la, La la la la la la
[02:05.30]Those were the days
[02:07.11]Oh yes, those were the days
[02:14.53]Just tonight I stood before the tavern
[02:19.68]Nothing seemed the way it used to be
[02:25.36]In the glass I saw a strange reflection
[02:30.82]Was that lonely man really me
[02:38.07]Those were the days, my friend
[02:42.49]We thought they'd never end
[02:45.02]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[02:49.84]We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
[02:54.88]For we were young and sure to have our way
[02:59.85]La la la la la la, La la la la la la
[03:05.09]La la la la....
[03:10.14]La la la la la la, La la la la la la
[03:15.05]La la la la....
[03:29.72]Through the door there came familiar laughter
[03:34.84]I saw your face and heard you call my name
[03:40.30]Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
[03:45.62]For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
[03:53.24]Those were the days, my friend
[03:58.25]We thought they'd never end
[04:00.92]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[04:05.97]We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
[04:10.86]For we were young and sure to have our way
[04:15.18]La la la la la la, La la la la la la
[04:20.86]La la la la....
[04:25.94]La la la la la la, La la la la la la
[04:30.90]La la la la....
