Then ((French Version: Mais C'était Hier (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
We were happy then Burning up the days, the kind of place will last so long Busy making hay, every dizzy day, sung a summer song Saying come what may, nothing could go wrong
We were hungry then Sharing every crust, often halfway bust, often halfway poor Close enough to touch, nothing mattered much, somehow we'd endure We were both so young, we were both too sure
They had a glow, they had a shine Those days of hope and cheap white wine Suddenly one day, summer ebbed away, winter came to stay
Days are colder now And the rain falls down on a lonesome town, sighing for the past And I'm older now, wise enough to know, summers never last We were both so blind, and we ran too fast
(Days would last forever then) (Not too late for lovers then) (Lots of time to breathe the ??? air) But suddenly one day, summer ebbed away, winter came to stay
Days are colder now And the rain falls down on a lonesome town, sighing for the past And I'm older now, wise enough to know, summers never last
And that song we knew Won't be sung again For the song was you And the time was then
