When The World Was Young - Nat King Cole[00:00:00]
It isn't by chance I happen to be[00:00:21]
A boulevardier the toast of Paree [00:00:25]
For over the noise the talk and the smoke [00:00:30]
I'm good for a laugh a drink or a joke [00:00:34]
I walk in a room a party of all [00:00:41]
Come sit over here somebody will call[00:00:47]
A drink for monsieur a drink for us all [00:00:54]
But how many times I sat and recall [00:01:00]
Are the apple trees [00:01:13]
Blossoms in the breeze that we walk among [00:01:17]
Lying in the hay games we used to play [00:01:28]
While the rounds were sung [00:01:37]
Only yesterday when the world was young [00:01:42]
Wherever I go they mention my name [00:01:56]
And that in itself is some sort of fame [00:02:00]
Come by for a drink we're having a game [00:02:05]
Wherever I go I'm glad that I came [00:02:10]
The talk is quite gay the company's fine [00:02:17]
There's laughter and lights and glamour and wine [00:02:23]
And beautiful girls and summer's been mine [00:02:30]
But often my eyes see a different shine [00:02:38]
Are the apple trees sunlit memories [00:02:51]
Where the hammock swung [00:03:01]
On our backs sweet lie looking at the sky [00:03:09]
Till the stars were strung[00:03:20]
Only last July when the world was young[00:03:25]
