Lyrics When the World Was Young / Yesterday When I Was Young - Mel Torme

When the World Was Young / Yesterday When I 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 quite gay, the company’s fine,
There’s laughter and lights and glamor and wine.
And beautiful girls and summer’s been mine, but often my eyes see a different
shine.
Are the apple trees, sunlit memories, where the hammock swung,
On our backs sweet lie, looking at the sky, till the stars were strung
Only last July when the world was young
