Artist/Band: Roy Drusky
Lyrics for Song: Those Were the Days
Lyrics for Album: English Gold (Plantation) [1979]



(Gene Raskin)



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 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.



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 we thought they'd never end

We'd sing and dance forever and a day

We'd live the life we chose we'd fight and never lose

Those were the days oh yes those were the days



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 follow 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.



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.



Through the door there came familiar laughter

I saw your face and heard you call my name

Oh, my friends we're older but no wiser

For in our hearts our 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.



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.



La la la la la...
