Those Were The Days Lyrics by Jude York
[Chorus]
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 wanted to
We'd roll the dice but never lose
Those were the days, those days, those were the days
[Verse 1]
Once upon a European summer
Twice beneath a champagne-colored sky
We had something good, it's such a bummer
That I can't seem to let our good thing die
You were twenty-five, and I was younger
Probably shoulda seen it from the start
Never was a favorite of my mother
But I keep going back to where we fell apart
[Chorus]
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 wanted to
We'd roll the dice but never lose
Those were the days, those days, those were the days
La, la, la, la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
Those were the days, those days, those were the days
[Post-Chorus]
(La, la, la, la, la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la)
(Those were the days, those days, those were the days)
[Verse 2]
I heard that you found yourself a lover
Wonder if you're finally satisfied
Oh, do you ever think of me under the covers?
And, that summer, has nothing been the same since you were mine?
'Cause now I'm driving down the highway to the places that we went
I swear that things'd change if you'd just show me once again
You'd realize that you miss me, and it'll be like I'm still your man
'Cause I keep going back to all the times we spent, oh, yes
[Chorus]
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 wanted to
We'd roll the dice but never lose
Those were the days, those days, those were the days
La, la, la, la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la (Those were the days)
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
Those were the days, those days, those were the days
[Post-Chorus]
(La, la, la, la, la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la)
(Those were the days, those days, those were the days)
