Once upon a time there was a castle 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. ……Mydays, My friends…… Then the busy years went rushing by us The lost our stary notions on our way If by chance I'd see you in the tevern We'd smile at one another and we'd say Those were the days my friend We'd thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we chose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way. Trusty night I stood before the tavern Nothing seem the way it used to be In the glass I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely Demon really me? Those were the days my friend We'd thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we chose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes those were the days. Through the door they 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'd thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we chose We'd fight and never lose Those were the days, oh yes those were the days.
