#588 THOSE WERE THE DAYS
eOnce upon a time there was a tavern,
Ewhere we used to E7raise a glass or atwo.
Remember how we laughed away the ehours,
athink of all the Hgreat things we would H7do.
Those were the edays, my friend,
we thought they’d anever end,
we`d live and Ddance D7forever and a Gday,
we’d live the alife we’d choose,
we’d fight and enever lose,
those were the H7days,
oh yes, those were the edays.
eThen the busy years went rushing by us,
we Elost our starry E7oceans on the away.
If by chance I’d see you in the etavern,
awe’d smile at one Hanother and we’d H7say.
Those were the edays, my friend,
we thought they’d anever end,
we`d live and Ddance D7forever and a Gday,
we’d live the alife we’d choose,
we’d fight and enever lose,
those were the H7days,
oh yes, those were the edays.
eJust tonight I stood before the tavern,
Enothing seemed the E7way it used to abe,
In the glass I saw a strange ereflection,
awas that lonely Hwoman really H7me?
Those were the edays, my friend,
we thought they’d anever end,
we`d live and Ddance D7forever and a Gday,
we’d live the alife we’d choose,
we’d fight and enever lose,
those were the H7days,
oh yes, those were the edays.
eThrough the door there came familiar laughter,
I Esaw your face and E7heard you call my aname.
Oh, my friend, we’re older but no ewiser,
afor in our hearts the Hdreams are still the H7same.
Those were the edays, my friend,
we thought they’d anever end,
we`d live and Ddance D7forever and a Gday,
we’d live the alife we’d choose,
we’d fight and enever lose,
those were the H7days,
oh yes, those were the edays.
