When The World Was Young şarkı sözleri

It isn't by chance I happen to be A boulevard deer, the toast of Paris For over the noise, the talk and the smoke I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a joke I walk in a room, a party or ball "Come sit over here", somebody will call "A drink for Monsieur, a drink for us all" But how many times I stop - and recall Ah, the apple trees Blossoms in the breeze That we walked among Lying in the hay Games we used to play While the rounds were sung Only yesterday When the world was young Wherever I go, they mention my name And that in itself is some sort of fame "Come by for a drink, we're having a game" Wherever I go, I'm glad that I came The talk is quite gay, the company fine There's laughter and lights, and glamour and wine And beautiful girls, and some of them mine But often my eyes see a different shine Ah, the apple trees Sun-lit memories Where the hammock swung On our backs we'd lie Looking at the sky 'Til the stars were strung Only last July When the world was young When the world was young
