Last Night When We Were Young
Words & Music by E.Y. "Yip" Harburg & Harold Arlen
Recorded by Carmen MacRae, 1955
A7 DM7/9 Em7 D9 F#m7 F7-9
Last night when we were young,
Cdim E9 E7-9 Em7 A7
Love was a star, a song unsung;
Edim D9 Cdim Em7 Edim
Life was so new, so real so bright,
A7-9 D B7 C A7
Ages ago last night.
A7 DM7/9 Em7 D9 F#m7 F7-9
To - day the world is old,
Cdim E9 E7-9 Em7 A7
You flew away and time grew cold.
Edim D9 Cdim Em7 Edim
Where is that star that shone so bright
A7-9 D B7 C A7
Ages ago last night?
Am7 Cdim F#7
To think that spring had de - pend - ed on
F7-9 E7 F#7 Dm
Merely this -- a look, a kiss.
Am7 F#m7
To think that something so splen - did
Bm7-5 E7-9 Edim A7-9
Could slip a - way in one little day - break.
A7 DM7/9 Em7 D9 F#m7 F7-9
So now let's rem - i - nisce,
B7 Am7 E7-9 F#7
And re -col - lect the sighs and the kis - ses,
B7 E7-9 E7 Dm G/B A7sus4 D9
The arms that clung when we were young last night,
A7-9 D B7 A7 DM7/9
Ages ago last night.
