Those Were The Days
(Gene Raskin / RussianTraditional)
Album: Post Card

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?

Chorus:
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'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
For we were young and sure to have our way!
Di di di di…

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'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di…

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
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di…

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'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di… [big finish!]


Mirror lyrics:

Di di di di… [big finish!]
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
We'd fight and never lose.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We thought they'd never end.
Those were the days, my friend!

For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same.
Oh my friend, we're older but no wiser,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Through the door, there came familiar laughter.

Di di di di…
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
We'd fight and never lose
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We thought they'd never end
Those were the days, my friend

Was that lonely woman really me?
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection.
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
Just tonight, I stood before the tavern.

Di di di di…
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
We'd fight and never lose.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We thought they'd never end.
Those were the days, my friend!

We'd smile at one another and we'd say,
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We lost our starry notions on the way.
Then, the busy years went rushing by us.

Di di di di…
For we were young and sure to have our way!
We'd fight and never lose.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We thought they'd never end.
Those were the days, my friend!
Chorus:
