It is considered one of Aznavour’s greatest hits.The English-language lyrics, written by Herbert Kretzmer, tell of someone reflecting on his life, recalling how he had wasted his younger years on hedonistic pursuits, and now that he is older, he is unable to do everything that he had planned; the lyrical implication is that the person may be close to impending death.Roy Clark version[edit]In the United States, the best-known version was recorded by country musician Roy Clark. His version, under the English title “Yesterday When I Was Young,” became his biggest hit up to that time on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, peaking at No. 9 in August 1969, and indeed, it became his only top 40 pop hit, peaking at No. 19. Clark performed the song at Mickey Mantle’s funeral in 1995, at Mantle’s personal request.[2]  In Canada, the song reached number seven on the pop chart, number two on the country chart, and number one AC.Chart performance[edit]Other notable cover versions[edit]Charles Aznavour had a European hit single with his version in 1970.
