Last Night When We Were Young

(Harold Arlen/Yip Harburg)



Last night when we were young, love was a star, a song unsung

Life was so new, so real so right, ages ago last night

Today the world is old, you flew away and time grew cold

Where is that star that shone so bright, ages ago last night

To think that spring had depended on merely this a look, a kiss

To think that something so splendid could slip away in one little daybreak

So now let's reminisce and recollect the sighs and the kisses

The arms that clung when we were young last night
