Bad Boys Blue - Those Were The Days

(Boris Fomin/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 Oh yes those were the days La la la la la la La la la la la la For we were young Oh yes those were the days How 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 choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young Oh yes those were the days La la la la la la La la la la la la For we were young 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 person 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 Oh yes those were the days La la la la la la La la la la la la For we were young Oh yes those were the days 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 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 Oh yes those were the days La la la la la la La la la la la la For we were young Oh yes those were the days
