Those Were the Days - Laura Marling

Lyrics by：Eugene Raskin

Composed by：Eugene Raskin

Once upon a time there was a tavern

Where we used to raise a glass or two

'Member how we'd laugh away the hours

Thinking of the great things we would do

Then those busy years went rushing by us

Lost our sorry 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 born to have our way

Born to have our way

Just tonight I stood before the tavern

Nothing seemed the way it used to be

In the glass I saw a strange reflection

Is this 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

For we were young born to have our way

Born to have our way

Those were the days

La da-da da-da

La da-da da-da

La da-da-da-da

La da-da da-da

Through the door 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

For we were young born to have our way

Born to have our way

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 born to have our way

Born to have our way

Those were the days
