THOSE WERE THE DAYS - 小暮阁下 (デーモン閣下)
Written by:GENE RASKIN/小暮伝衛門
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
Then the busy years
Went rushing by us
The 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
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 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
Those were the days
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 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
Those were the days
Oh yes those were the days
