[00:00.10]Those Were The Days
[00:00.30]Bobby Vinton
[00:01.31]Once upon a time there was a tavern
[00:04.42]Where we used to raise a glass or two
[00:10.95]Remember how we laughed away the hours
[00:17.03]And dreamed of all the great things we would do
[00:23.66]Then the busy years went rushing by us
[00:29.94]We lost our starry notions on the way
[00:35.36]If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
[00:41.66]We'd smile at one another and we'd say
[00:50.30]Those were the days my friend
[00:55.87]We thought they'd never end
[00:59.04]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[01:03.85]We'd live the life we choose
[01:07.38]We'd fight and never lose
[01:10.40]For we were young and sure to have our way.
[01:14.72]La la la la...
[01:22.01]Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
[01:29.89]Just tonight I stood before the tavern
[01:36.03]Nothing seemed the way it used to be
[01:42.49]In the glass I saw a strange reflection
[01:48.97]Was that lonely woman really me
[01:57.63]Those were the days my friend
[02:02.21]We thought they'd never end
[02:05.48]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[02:10.70]We'd live the life we choose
[02:14.06]We'd fight and never lose
[02:16.86]For we were young and sure to have our way.
[02:21.50]La la la la...
[02:28.21]Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
[02:41.75]Through the door there came familiar laughter
[02:49.01]I saw your face and heard you call my name
[02:54.76]Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
[03:00.60]For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
[03:09.25]Those were the days my friend
[03:14.26]We thought they'd never end
[03:17.25]We'd sing and dance forever and a day
[03:22.35]We'd live the life we choose
[03:25.81]We'd fight and never lose
[03:28.63]For we were young and sure to have our way.
[03:33.00]La la la la...
