When the World Was Young Lyrics

When the World Was Young - Julie London (朱莉.伦敦、Gayle Peck)

Written by:J Mercer/Philippe Gerard/A Vannier

They call me

Coquette and mademoiselle

And I must admit I like it quite well

It's something to be the darling of all

Le grande

Femme fatale

The belle of the ball

There's nothing as gay as life in

Paris

There's no other person

I'd rather be

I love what I do

I love what I see

But where is the schoolgirl

That used to be me

Ah the apple trees

Blossoms in the breeze

That we walked among

Lying in the hay

Games we used to play

While the rounds were sung

Only yesterday

When the world was young

You'll see me in cape d'antibes in Spain

I follow the sun by boat or by plane

It's any old millionaire in a storm

For I've got my mink

To keep

My heart warm

And sometimes I drink too much

With the crowd

And sometimes I talk

A little too loud

My head may be aching

But

It's unbowed

And sometimes I see it

All through the cloud

Ah the apple trees

Sunlight memories

Where the hammock swung

On our backs we'd lie

Looking at the sky

'Til the stars were strung

Only last July

When the world was young

Ah the apple trees

And the hive of bees

Where we once got stung

Summers at bordeau

Rowing at bateau

Where the willows hung

Just a dream ago

 

When the world was young
