@vanaala1 Listen to the other Azenevour composition " La Boheme" - and there you have path to tread at 70.

The French live all their lives. Living is their main path. I am over 70, retired to the south of France on a modest pension, and boy I just can't find the time to do all the living offered me. (There are so many over 70s just waiting for new songs to sing happy song together, taste new moments of pleasure together, never thinking of life - just doing it! Bonne chance (I am asian)

Je connais cette chanson depuis plus de 45ans...

et à l'époque, je me souviens très bien, m'être dit: "mais tu as bien

le temps de penser à cela" ...

et j'ai 52ans, avec une vie bien remplie...et je m'amuse à dire que.......

j'ai 15 ans depuis 37ans...

pour moi maintenant cette chanson a une histoire,

et c'est une histoire merveilleuse.. que je souhaite à tous....

l' histoire de votre vie jonchée de vos souvenirs....

[707Laslo]

I know this song for over 45 years ... and at the time, I remember very well, thinking,

'but you did well time to think about it "... 52ans and I, with a busy life ... and I enjoy that ....... 37 years since I was 15 ... Now for me this song has a story, and it is a wonderful story .. I wish you all ....the story of your life littered with memories ....

Listening to this music as a young man I knew I didn't really know what the lyrics meant, the kind of knowing only experience gives you. It made me think about life and the future and the kind of person I would be. I don't know for sure but I wonder what music does this for my kids?

Dunno which came first, but it sounds like How I Love You by Engel Humperdink.

This is OK, mundane (from a great singer) - but various other "better" versions readily available

@hommefriday Thank you for your inspirational words. I want to grow up and think like you. I don't have far to catch up to you (smile). I need another life time to do all the things I haven't yet done. Life is what you make it.
