Yellow Days Lyrics

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
