Those Were the Days - Live at the Royal Festival Hall
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.
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.
Dai da da da dai dai da da da dai dai dai
Da da dai da da dai dai da da da
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 choose we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days,
Oh yes, those were the days.
Da da da dai dai dai da da da dai dai dai
Da da da da da dai dai da da da
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 choose we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
Da da da dai dai dai da da da dai dai dai
Da dadada da da da dada da
Da da da dai dai dai da da da dai dai dai
Da dadada da dai dai dada daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... aahh
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 choose we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
Da da da dai dai dai da da da dai dai dai
Da dada da da dai dai dada da
Da da da dai dai dai da da da dai dai dai

La la la la la la, La la la la la la, La la la la la la.
