The Wine Of Youth (Sa jeunesse) - Charles Aznavour

While we still hold the card in our hands

The fleeting treasure of youth, we know

We’re living life to it’s full measure

For the fruit of love is growing

When the wine of youth is flowing

And while we hear life’s distant bells still ringing laughter

We’re full of hope, we’re blessed with joy, we have no care

So let us drink, while life is brimming

With the wine of youth

Time, so swiftly flies, our summer skies soon slip away

Time, so swiftly wings, each parting wings

Each chandelles sadness, so timeless

And then in vain, we cup our hands and catch but sorrow

Each drop of time, like falling rain, knows no tomorrow

We can’t hold and sip forever from the wine of youth

Before we learn to smile, our smiles are behind us

Before we learn to live, our life has run away

In a momentary sigh, before we understand

We watch it all go by

We’ll never know that time, time again

And then in vain, we cup our hands and catch but sorrow

Each drop of time, like falling rain, knows no tomorrow

We can’t hold and sip forever from the wine of youth
