Lyrics to "Those Were The Days"
Those were the days (Cardiff City)
Once upon a time there was the Canton,
Where we used to have a drink or two
Remember how we took the cup from England
Think of all the great games we would do
(Chorus)
Those were the days, my friend,
Back In the old Grange End,
We'd cheer and sing, forever and a day.
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
We had Scott Young and sure to have our way.
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Then the City years went rushing by us
We lost our Peter Whittingham on the way
If by chance I'd see him in the Canton
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Chorus
Those were the days, my friend,
Back In the old Grange End,
We'd cheer and sing, 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
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Just tonight I stood before the Canton
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that the Cardiff City of my dreams
Chorus
Those were the days, my friend,
Back In the old Grange End,
We'd cheer and sing, 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
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Through the door came back the bluebird Ramsey
We saw his face and we would sing his name
For the legend he is older and much wiser
But in his heart the dreams are still the same
(Chorus)
Those were the days, my friend,
Back In the old Grange End,
We'd cheer and sing, 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
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
