[00:00:00] When The World Was Young - Anita O'Day/The Three Sounds

[00:00:00] Written by：Gerard/Johnny Mercer

[00:00:01] It isn't by chance I happen to be a boulevardier the toast of Paree

[00:00:09] For over the noise the talk and the smoke

[00:00:13] I'm good for a laugh a drink or a joke

[00:00:19] I walk in a room a party of all

[00:00:23] Come sit over here somebody will call

[00:00:28] A drink for monsieur a drink for us all

[00:00:34] But how many times I sat and recall

[00:00:43] Are the apple trees blossoms in the breeze that we walk among

[00:00:59] Lying in the hay games we used to play while the rounds were sung

[00:01:14] Only yesterday when the world was young

[00:01:25] Wherever I go they mention my name

[00:01:28] And that in itself is some sort of fame

[00:01:32] Come by for a drink we're having a game

[00:01:36] Wherever I go I'm glad that I came

[00:01:42] The talk is quite gay the company's fine

[00:01:46] There's laughter and lights and glamour and wine

[00:01:51] And have some young man and summer's and mine but often my eyes see a different shine

[00:02:07] Are the apple trees sunlit memories where the hammock swung

[00:02:29] On our backs sweet lie looking at the sky till the stars were strung

[00:02:46] Only last july when the world was young

[00:02:57] Just a dream ago when the world was young
