from the movie "The Great Waltz (film)", the original version of this song was actually known as "Wer Uns Getraut", (Who Marry Us, in English), from Johann Struass Junior's operatta "the Gypsy Baron". Lyrics was of course in German. Oscar Hammerstein II put in the English words as "One Day When We Were Young".
One day when we were young That wonderful morning in May You told me you loved me When we were young one day Sweet songs of spring were sung And music was never so gay You told me you loved me When we were young one day You told me you loved me And held me close to your heart We laughed then, we cried then Then came the ti-ime to part When songs of spring are sung Remember that morning in May Remember you loved me When we were young one day We laughed then, we cried then Then came the ti-ime to par-art When songs of spring are sung Remember that morning in May Remember you loved me When we were young one day...
