Those Were the Days - 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’d laugh away the hours

And dream 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-la-la

La la, la la la la

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 fellow 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-la-la

La la, la la la la

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 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-la-la

La la, la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

La-la-la-la-la

La la, la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

La-la-la-la-la

La la, la la la la
