Originally written as Hier Encore in 1961 by Charles Aznavour and Georges Garvarentz, Herbert Kretzmer translated this song of the realization of wasted youth and regrets of one's later years. It is one of those heartfelt songs that few could do justice to and even fewer would dare to try. Perhaps made most famous in English by Roy Clark (Yesterday When I Was Young), Dusty performed it with uncommon sadness yet uncommon artistry. Don't be surprised if you glance for a tissue before it is done.
