Yesterday When I Was Young

Yesterday when I was young

  • Yesterday when I was young
  • The taste of life was sweet
  • As rain upon my tongue
  • I teased with life as if it were a foolish game
  • The way the evening breeze can tease a candle flame
  • The thousand dreams I dreamed
  • The splendid things I planned
  • I always built alas
  • On weak and shifting sand
  • I lived by night
  • And I shunned the naked light of day
  • And only now I see
  • How the years have ran away
  • Yesterday when I was young
  • So many happy songs were waiting 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 I can now recall
  • Concerned itself with me just me
  • And nothing else at all
  • Yesterday the moon was blue
  • And every crazy day brought something new to do
  • I used my magic youth just like a little wand
  • And never saw the waste
  • The waste and the 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
  • There are so many happy songs in me
  • That won't be sung
  • I feel the bitter taste of tears
  • Of tears upon my tongue
  • The time has come for me to pay
  • For yesterday when I was young
