Charles Aznavour - Then lyrics
[Charles Aznavour - Then lyrics]
We were happy then burning up the days
The kinds of plays that last so long
Busy making hay every busy day
Sung a summer song saying come what may
Nothing could go wrong
We were hungry then sharing every crust
Often halfway lost often halfway poor
Close in every 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 floats down
On a lonesome time sighing for a 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
But suddenly one day summer ebbed away
Winter came to stay days are colder now
And the rain floats down on a lonesome time
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
The kinds of plays that last so long
Busy making hay every busy day
Sung a summer song saying come what may
Nothing could go wrong
We were hungry then sharing every crust
Often halfway lost often halfway poor
Close in every 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 floats down
On a lonesome time sighing for a 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
But suddenly one day summer ebbed away
Winter came to stay days are colder now
And the rain floats down on a lonesome time
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
