mel tormé - when the world was young (ah, the apple trees) - live at red hill lyrics

[verse]
it isn’t by chance that i happen to be
a boulevardier, the toast of paris
and through all the noise and the talk and the smoke
i’m good for a laugh, a drink, or a joke
i go to a room, a party, or ball
“come sit over here,” somebody will call
“a drink for m’sieur, a drink for us all”
but how many times do i stop and recall?

[chorus]
ah, the apple trees
moonlit memories
where the hammock swung
on our backs we’d lie
looking at the sky
till the stars were strung
only last july
when the world was young

[verse]
wherever i go, they call me by name
and that, in itself, is some kind of fame
i’m good for a laugh, a drink, or a game
wherever i go, they’re glad that i came
the life that i live, i like it just fine
there’s music and romance and glamour and wine
and beautiful girls, and some of them mine
but often my eyes see a different shine
[chorus]
ah, the apple trees
and the hive of bees
where we once got stung
summers in bordeaux
rowing the bateau
where the willows hung
just a dream ago
when the world was young
when the world was young

[outro]
(encore), thank you, oh, boy
