Yesterday When I Was Young

Yesterday

  • Yesterday
  • When I was young
  • The taste of life was sweet
  • Like rain upon my tongue
  • I teased at life
  • As if
  • It were a foolish game
  • The way an evening breeze
  • May tease a candle flame
  • The thousand dreams I dreamed
  • The splendid things I planned
  • I always built to last
  • On weak and shifting sand
  • I lived by night
  • And shunned
  • The naked light of day
  • And only now I see
  • How the years have ran away
  • Yesterday
  • When I was young
  • There were so many songs
  • That waited to be sung
  • So many wild pleasures
  • Lay in store for me
  • And so much pain
  • My dazzled eyes refused to see
  • I ran so fast that time
  • And youth at last ran out
  • I never stopped to think
  • What life was all about
  • And every conversation
  • That I can now recall
  • Concerns itself with me
  • And nothing else at all
  • Yesterday
  • The moon was blue
  • And every crazy day
  • Brought something new to do
  • And I used my magic age
  • As if it were a wand
  • And never saw the waste
  • And emptiness
  • Beyond
  • The game of love I played
  • With arrogance and pride
  • And every flame I lit
  • So quickly quickly died
  • The friends I made
  • All seemed
  • Somehow to drift away
  • And only I am left
  • On stage to day
  • There are so many songs in me
  • That won't be sung
  • I feel the bitter taste
  • Of tears
  • Upon my tongue
  • And the time has come for me
  • To pay for yesterday
  • When I was young
