Yesterday When I Was Young - Roy Clark[00:00:00]
Lyrics by:D.R.[00:00:01]
Composed by:D.R.[00:00:02]
It seems the love I've known[00:00:06]
Has always been the most destructive kind[00:00:08]
I guess that's why now[00:00:12]
I feel so old[00:00:14]
Before my time[00:00:17]
Yesterday when I was young[00:00:20]
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue[00:00:26]
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game[00:00:31]
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame[00:00:36]
The thousand dreams I dreamed the splendid things I planned[00:00:42]
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand[00:00:48]
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day[00:00:53]
And only now I see how the years ran away[00:00:58]
Yesterday when I was young[00:01:04]
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung[00:01:09]
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me[00:01:14]
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see[00:01:19]
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out[00:01:25]
I never stopped to think what life was all about[00:01:30]
And every conversation I can now recall[00:01:35]
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all[00:01:41]
Yesterday the moon was blue[00:02:08]
And every crazy day brought something new to do[00:02:12]
I used my magic age as if it were a wand[00:02:18]
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond[00:02:23]
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride[00:02:29]
And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died[00:02:34]
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away[00:02:39]
And only I am left on stage to end the play[00:02:44]
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung[00:02:50]
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue[00:02:55]
The time has come for me to pay for[00:03:00]
Yesterday when I was young[00:03:04]
