I think it's more about that she has been drinking away all her life at tyhe tavern, when she was younger she dreamt of things to do, now in the end she never done them, she just kept drinking.
I have always thought of this song as a sad song, that she regrets her life but these days I think that she aint dissapointed, the memories she has from her youth in the tavern is enough.
This is one song that is going to be played at my funeral :)
Her days drinking in the tavern are the happy days she remembers. Her life didn't go the way she thought it would but there's nothing in the song to say she had any problems due to drinking.

This is more about life happening while you're making other plans and seeing something, going somewhere that reminds you of what the old dreams were.

Funny, Paul McCartney found this song and produced Mary's recording of it right when the Beatles were splitting up. I think he may have imagined running into John Lennon years later and thinking "Those were the days"....

One of the best! It makes you cherish every moment we have so that we'll have no regrets of our lives when we look back in the future.
