Those Were the Days Songtext

von The 5th Dimension

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.

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 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.

La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-laaaaaaa.

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 fella really me.

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.

La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-laaaaaaa.

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,
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.

La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-laaaaaaa.

La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-laaaaaaa.

La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-la la-la
La-la la-laaaaaaa.
