Yesterday When I Was Young

Yesterday when I was young

The tastef life was sweet like rain upony tongue

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

The way anvening breeze would tease a candle flame

The thousandreams Ireamed

The splendid things I planned

I always built to lastn weekend shifting sand

I lived by night and shinned the naked lightfay

Andnly now I see how the years have run away

Yesterday when I was young

There were soany songs that waited to be sung

Soany wild pleasures lay in store fore

And sousch painyazzledyes refused to see

I ran so fast in time and youth at last ranut

I never stopped to think what life was all about

Andvery conversation that I can (now) recall

Concerned itself withe and nothinglse at all

Yesterday theoon was blue

Andvery crazyay brought something new too

And I usedyagic age as if it were a wand

Andver saw all the waste andmptiness beyond

The gamef love I played with arrogance and pride

Andvery flame I lit so quickly

quicklyied

The friends Iadeff seem somehow torife away

Andnly I'm leftn stage tond the play 　 (chorus)

There are soany song ine that won't be sung

'Cause I feel the vitter tastef tears upony tongue

And the time has come fore

To pay for yesterday when I was young
