Those Were The Days
Cal ed By Michael Johnstone
WK-2008
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Sides face grand square
*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
Allemande and weave
Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end
We'l swing and dance forever, promenade
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
*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
FIGURE
The head (side) two couples square thru go four now
When you get to the corner lady, right & left thru
Swing thru, and the boys you will run right
Half tag, trade and roll you do
Slide thru, square thru 3 hands around and then
We'l swing and dance forever, promenade
We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
TAG
Sides face grand square
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, la, la, la, la, la
