Thoses were the days - Bad Boys Blue

Once upon a time there was a tavern

Where we used to raise a glass or two

Remember how we laughed away the hours

And dreamed 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

Oh yes, those were the days

How 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

For we were young

Oh yes, those were the days

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 person 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

Oh yes, those were the days

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 our 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

Oh yes, those were the days
