Yellow Days

Tony Bennett

Written by Alan Bernstein and Alvaro Carrillo



From his "Something" LP: Columbia 30280

It 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 brightness

And laughter held a lover's kind of lightness

Yellow days, yellow days



She would hold me and the smile would spread around us so completely

And the softness of a kiss would linger sweetly

Yellow 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 tender

And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember

Yellow 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 tender

And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember

Yellow days, yellow days
