Turisas - Those Were the Days lyrics

Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a gla** 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 for-ever 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 Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala Just tonight I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be In the gla** I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely soldier really me Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance for-ever 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 Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala 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 for-ever 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 Lalala lah lala, lalala lah lala
