Those were the Days

This is just a "singalong" song - no parts to worry about.

​

Once upon a time there was a tavern, 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 choose, we'd fight and never lose

For we were young and sure to have our way

Dai – dai -dai -dai . . . . . .

 

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 . . .

 Dai dai dai dai . ..

 

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?

 

Those were the days, my friend . . .

Dai dai dai dai  . . .

 

MUSIC

 

Through the door, there came familiar laughter, 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

 

Those were the days, my friend . . .

Dai-dai-dai dai  . . .
