| [00:00.47] |
Yesterday, when I was young |
| [00:06.20] |
The taste of life was sweet |
| [00:09.47] |
Like rain upon my tongue |
| [00:12.59] |
I teased at life as if It were a foolish game |
| [00:18.36] |
The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame |
| [00:24.36] |
The thousand dreams I dreamed |
| [00:27.27] |
The splendid things I planned |
| [00:30.46] |
I always built to last,On weak and shifting sand |
| [00:36.56] |
I lived by night and shunned,The naked light of day |
| [00:42.77] |
And only now I see how the years have ran away |
| [00:48.27] |
Yesterday, when I was young |
| [00:54.13] |
There were so many songs that waited to be sung |
| [01:00.02] |
so many wild pleasures that lay in store for me |
| [01:05.69] |
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see |
| [01:11.79] |
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out |
| [01:17.39] |
I never stopped to think what life was all about |
| [01:23.34] |
And every conversation that I can now recall |
| [01:29.51] |
Concerns itself with me and nothing else at all |
| [01:58.33] |
Yesterday, the moon was blue |
| [02:04.24] |
And every crazy day brought something new to do |
| [02:09.99] |
And I used my magic age as if it were a wand |
| [02:16.01] |
And never saw the waste,And emptiness beyond |
| [02:21.87] |
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride |
| [02:27.22] |
And every flame I lit,so quickly, quickly died |
| [02:33.08] |
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away |
| [02:38.86] |
And only I am left on stage to end the play |
| [02:44.71] |
Yesterday, when I was young |
| [02:50.36] |
There were so many songs that waited to be sung |
| [02:56.23] |
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me |
| [03:02.08] |
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see |
| [03:07.98] |
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung |
| [03:14.03] |
'Cause I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue |
| [03:20.07] |
And The time has come for me to pay for yesterday |
| [03:25.42] |
When I was young |
