Van Dyck Your Dad was absolutely correct he knows what he’s talking about .

I remember as a young person back in the 1970s seeing a programme with old age pensioners talking about their youth and saying, "Everything's changed beyond recognition now." I thought, "What do they mean, what's changed?" I saw the programme again recently and understood exactly how they felt. This comes to every generation.

Those days were days for me in the 80's!! How I miss the family and friends that are not longer with me. As Oscar Wilde said, "youth is wasted on the young". How true!!!

I remember my grandmother singing this while playing the baby grand piano that took up a third of our living room .. I was six or seven. She was nearly seventy. Nostalgia can be an incredibly intense emotion.

the song was performed by many singers: gypsy, russian french, english, american. Even considered to be a "folk" song. But there is a talented man behind this sweet melody. Boris Fomin created this song in 1917th, Sankt-Peterburg, Russia. Words by Konstantin Podrevskiy, were added, or changed to in 1924. Lost love, pain caused by parting, long road through the night..

No other song can trigger a sense of melancholy like those were the days.

My best from the 7th grade and I through life, we both had moved to various parts of 5US, but we always kept in close contact. She moved back here years ago as had i. Then I moved across the country,. Now also back. We have managed to live in the same building as we approach our 60's. A few weeks ago we sang this at a karaoke event. To friendships that do not end.

This song was an oldie. It meant nothing until my best friend died. Now it's our theme song. Talk about heartbreaking.

when the Santa Clauses appear you know its over

One of those classics, which will stay with you life time even when you are listening today for the first time.

Oh, I remember how lively the atmosphere was in that stadium back in 1969.

I don't know why I miss those people and places when I was child. Climbing mango trees whole day, catching fishes in mud, playing with neighbors....elementary crushes....hayyy...those were the days

Christmas Even 1969, Equatorial Guinea...

My folks love this song.As a kid,I remember it being sung at parties during x'mas once the adults had their fair share of spirits deep into the night.I never cared for the song but loved the atmosphere it created.The melody came floating in my head tonight and it hit hard.Almost 50,without my dad and the elder relatives who have passed on.They knew how to have a good time and I miss them.This song passes on it's affect once every younger generation(if they ever heard it enough times or at all) reaches the age of their parents.May your hearts always be filled with song and laughter my friends.Cheers!!!🍻

We were a crew, my two friends and me. From our big friend group to the poing where everyone's gone their separate ways. Today, randomly the three of us decided to hang out again. And everything was as we left it 12 years ago. All of those serious talks, sitting on "our" bench, drinking cheap beers and in the end laughing until tears. Our small city changed, the faces around us were unfamiliar and so was the case in our lives. God, I almost started crying hearing them laugh once again. Nothing in our lives was as simple and nonchalant as it was all those years ago. Reality hit us badly. We've lost friends and loved ones and with every passing day our existence has become more complicated yet. All of us lost the glimmer in our eyes we had. But tonight I saw the glimpse of glimmer even in passing. I'm moving to another country far away soon and so is another one of them. The number of times we can repeat this is numbered. But God, I love you guys. Nothing in the world compares. You created a small infinity with our endless numbered days ❤

This song reminds me of my dear friends from the mid -1960s, when times were slower, and life at least on the surface seemed easier.

I was a 8 years old kid when i heard this song in my father's cassette player . I loved right away. Greetings from Venezuela!

how beautiful this SONG, the great CHIKOVISKI,, AND THE GREATEST ,, MARY HOPKINS,, every time I listen to it, it reminds me, with the greatest time of my life where the streets are quiet, no loud around, and the people were very beautiful, and very high , class in every aspect,, comparing to now adays

Yeah, back before RAP dragged the whole music industry down into the gutter. Exceptions: Country/Folk music - relatively unscathed by Rap Classical - I guess Rap has no use for well-written well-performed music most of which was written to celebrate /glorify God. {Can't have God in Rap, negates the onslaught of anger}

One of the best songs ever to come out of the 60s sung to perfection by Mary Hopkins. The backing is just perfection

This song reminded me of something I used to know but had long since forgot. It doesn't matter how long we live, it's HOW we live. Live a life worth living. I used to do just that, I'm gonna start again now.

i remember this song as a child and I loved the gypsy melodies. Hypnotic and ready to dance on the table!

rushing by us ! not washing by us ;-) Those Were The Days Lyrics 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 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. La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days Then the busy years went rushing by us We 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. La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days Just tonight I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be In the glass I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely woman 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 For we were young and sure to have our way. La la la la... 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 For we were young and sure to have our way.

In 1968, I was moving to Staten Island from Tennessee. The song made me happy, but it became a sad song for me when I had to leave there seven months later. I have always regretted leaving Staten Island. I used to love those Sundays when would take the ferry over to Manhattan. I would often go to St. Patrick's and light a candle, wish I could do that today.

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..........I get teary eyed every time. Every time.

The beauty and sadness of life eloquently expressed in this song... Life is a beautiful tragedy :(

Beautiful song...love it :)))

I remember singing this with bunch of our friends driving around the cars Now you're outliving everyone and your alone singing Those were the days

Thank you this great song ! Brings back memories from 1968, some sad, some happy...Marjorie Lynn

This song reminds me of my maternal grandmother. I used to listen to AM radio with her. I didn't understand this song at that time now that I am old it brings more meaning.
