When The World Was Young Lyrics - Bob Dylan

It isn't by chance I happen to be 

A boulevardier, the toast of Paris 

For over 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 

"Come sit over here" somebody will call 

"A drink for M'sieur, a drink for us all!" 

But how many times I stop and recall 

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

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 fine 

There's laughter and lights, and glamour and wine 

And beautiful girls and some of them mine 

But often my eyes see a different shine 

Ah, the apple trees 

Sunlit 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 

Photos 

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 

While sitting around, we often recall 

The laugh of the year, the night of them all 

The blonde who was so attractive that year 

Some opening night that made us all cheer 

Remember that time we all got so tight 

And Jacques and Antoine got into a fight 

The gendarmes who came, passed out like a light 

I laugh with the rest, it's all very bright
