Lyrics Those Were the Days - 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 could do

Is everybody ready?
Those were the days, my friend
We thought it′d never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We lived the life we choose
We′d fight and never lose
'Cause we were young and sure to have our way
Those were the days my friend
We thought it'd never end
We′d sing and dance forever and a day
We lived the life we choose
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 could do
Then the busy years were rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
And if by chance I'd see you in the tavern

We′d smile at one another and we'd sing

Those were the days my friend
We thought it′d never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We lived the life we choose

We′d fight and never lose
'Cause we were young and sure to have our way
La la la lai la la
La la la lai la la
La la la lai la la la la la
La la la lai la la
La la la lai la la
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
La la la lai la la
La la la lai la la
La la la lai la la la la la
La la la lai la la
La la la lai la la
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
La la la lai la la
La la la lai la la
La la la lai la la la la la
La la la lai la la
La la la lai la la
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days
