Those Were The Days    (RIV 245)  Wade Driver

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK



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
Circle left.
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end
Left Allemande, Swing and Promenade.
We lived the life we choose, we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

FIGURE



Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
We lived the life we choose, we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

CLOSER



Grand Square
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.
Circle left.
Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end
Left Allemande, Swing and Promenade.
We lived the life we choose, we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.

TAG



We lived the life we choose, we’d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
