(Ah, the Apple Trees) When the World Was Young - Nat King Cole (纳·京·高尔)[00:00:01]
Written by:M. Phillippe Gerard/Angela Vannier/Johnny Mercer[00:00:04]
It isn't by chance I happen to be[00:00:20]
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[00:00:53]
But how many times I spark 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[00:01:41]
Wherever I go they mention my name[00:01:55]
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[00:02:09]
The talk is quite gay the company's fine[00:02:16]
There's laughter and lights and glamour and wine[00:02:23]
And beautiful girls and summer's mine[00:02:29]
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[00:03:08]
Till the stars were strung[00:03:19]
Only last July when the world was young[00:03:24]
