Yesterday When I Was Young - Jim Nabors[00:00:01]
Yesterday when I was young[00:00:13]
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 a candle flame [00:00:29]
The thousand dreams I dreamed [00:00:35]
The splendid things I planned[00:00:37]
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand [00:00:40]
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day[00:00:46]
And only now I see how the years ran away [00:00:51]
Yesterday when I was young[00:00:57]
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung [00:01:02]
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me[00:01:07]
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see [00:01:13]
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out [00:01:18]
I never stopped to think what life was all about[00:01:23]
And every conversation I can now recall[00:01:29]
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all [00:01:34]
Yesterday the moon was blue[00:02:03]
And every crazy day brought something new to do [00:02:07]
I used my magic age as if it were a wand[00:02:13]
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond [00:02:18]
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride[00:02:23]
And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died [00:02:29]
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away[00:02:34]
And only I am left on stage to end the play [00:02:39]
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung [00:02:45]
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue [00:02:50]
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday[00:02:56]
When I was young[00:03:04]
