Yellow Days

Tony Bennett

Yellow DaysTony BennettWritten by Alan Bernstein and Alvaro CarrilloFrom his "Something" LP: Columbia 30280It appears that NO ONE ever charted this in the Top 100 as a single but, per ASCAP, it must have been put on LP's by Johnny Mathis, Percy Faith, Sinatra and Ellington, the Sandpipers, the Baja Marimba Band and you-name-'em!!I remember when the sunlight had a special kind of brightnessAnd laughter held a lover's kind of lightnessYellow days, yellow daysShe would hold me and the smile would spread around us so completelyAnd the softness of a kiss would linger sweetlyYellow days, yellow days But then came thunder And I heard her say "goodbye" Through tears of wonder Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know Yellow days, where'd you go?Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tenderAnd the laughter's just an echo I'll rememberYellow days, yellow days Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know Yellow days, where'd you go?Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tenderAnd the laughter's just an echo I'll rememberYellow days, yellow days
