Yesterday When I Was Young
Yesterday when I was young
- 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
- Way the evening breeze
- Would 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 and ran away
- Yesterday when I was young
- There was so many songs
- That waiting to be sung
- So many wild pleasures
- That 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
- And I never stopped to think
- What life was all about
- And every conversation
- That I can recall
- Concerned 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 too
- Quickly quickly died
- The friends I made all
- Seemed somehow to drift away
- And only I am left on
- Stage to end the play
- Yesterday when I was young
- There was 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
- There are so many songs
- In me that won't be sung
- 'Cause 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
- Yesterday when I was young
- There was 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
- Yesterday when I was young
- There was 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
- Yesterday when I was young
- There was 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
- Yesss teerrrr dayy
