Frank Sinatra - When The World Was Young Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 1. It isn't by chance I happen to be,
  • A boulevardier, the toast of Paris.
  • For over the noise, the talk and the smoke,
  • I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a jokeI walk in a room, a party or ball,
  • "Come sit over here" somebody will call.
  • "A drink for M'sieur, 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.
  • 2. 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 diff'rent shine.
  • Ah, the apple trees,
  • Sunlit memories,
  • Where the hammock swung,
  • On our backs we'd lie,
  • Looking at the sky,
  • Till the stars were strung,
  • Only last July when the world was young.
  • 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.
  • 3. While sitting around, we often recall,
  • The laugh of the year, the night of them all.
  • The blonde who was so attractive that year,
  • Some opening night that made us all cheer.
  • Remember that time we all got so tight,
  • And Jacques and Antoine got into a fight.
  • The gendarmes who came, passed out like a light,
  • I laugh with the rest, it's all very bright.
