Yesterday when I was young [00:00:14]
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue [00:00:18]
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game [00:00:24]
The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame [00:00:30]
A thousand dreams I dreamed [00:00:36]
The splendid things I planned [00:00:39]
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand [00:00:42]
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day [00:00:48]
And only now I see how the years ran away [00:00:54]
Yesterday when I was young [00:01:01]
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung [00:01:06]
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me [00:01:11]
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see [00:01:17]
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out [00:01:22]
I never stopped to think what life was all about [00:01:28]
And every conversation I can now recall [00:01:34]
Concerned itself with me me me and nothing else at all [00:01:39]
Yesterday the moon was blue [00:01:46]
And every crazy day brought something new to do [00:01:51]
I used my magic age as if it were a wand [00:01:57]
That never saw the waste and emptiness beyond [00:02:02]
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride [00:02:08]
And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died [00:02:14]
The friends I made all seemed somehow drift away [00:02:19]
And only I am left on stage to end the play [00:02:26]
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung [00:02:33]
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue [00:02:38]
The time has come for me to pay [00:02:45]
For yesterday when I was young young young young[00:02:48]
