《When The World Was Young》歌词

[00:00:00] When The World Was Young - Nat King Cole

[00:00:21] It isn't by chance I happen to be

[00:00:25] A boulevardier the toast of Paree

[00:00:30] For over the noise the talk and the smoke

[00:00:34] I'm good for a laugh a drink or a joke

[00:00:41] I walk in a room a party of all

[00:00:47] Come sit over here somebody will call

[00:00:54] A drink for monsieur a drink for us all

[00:01:00] But how many times I sat and recall

[00:01:13] Are the apple trees

[00:01:17] Blossoms in the breeze that we walk among

[00:01:28] Lying in the hay games we used to play

[00:01:37] While the rounds were sung

[00:01:42] Only yesterday when the world was young

[00:01:56] Wherever I go they mention my name

[00:02:00] And that in itself is some sort of fame

[00:02:05] Come by for a drink we're having a game

[00:02:10] Wherever I go I'm glad that I came

[00:02:17] The talk is quite gay the company's fine

[00:02:23] There's laughter and lights and glamour and wine

[00:02:30] And beautiful girls and summer's been mine

[00:02:38] But often my eyes see a different shine

[00:02:51] Are the apple trees sunlit memories

[00:03:01] Where the hammock swung

[00:03:09] On our backs sweet lie looking at the sky

[00:03:20] Till the stars were strung

[00:03:25] Only last July when the world was young
