When The World Was Young - Johnny Mathis

Ah, the apple trees blossoms in the breeze

That we walked among

Lying in the hay, games we used to play

Wild around the sun only yesterday

When the world was young

While sitting around we often recall

The life of the year, the night of them all

For all of the noise, the talk and the smoke

I’m good for a laugh, a drink or a joke

I walk in a room, a party or ball

There’s laughter and lights and wine for us all

And beautiful girls all put to

But often my eyes see a different shine

Ah, the apple trees, silent memories

Wherever

On our backs we’d lie looking at sky

Till the stars were strung only last July

When the world was young

When the world was young
