When The World Was Young - Sheila Jordan

作曲：Johnny Mercer/M Phillippe Gerard

It isn't by chance that I happen to be

The build of the boulevard the toast of paris

For over the noise the craw 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 the lady a drink for us all

But how many times do 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 gay the company is fine

There's laughter and lights and glamour and wine

And handsome man 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 wants were strung

Just you're gone

When the world was young
