Yesterday when I was young[00:00:20]
The taste of life was sweet[00:00:25]
As rain upon my tongue[00:00:27]
I teased at life as if[00:00:30]
It were a foolish game[00:00:33]
The way the evening breeze[00:00:34]
may tease a candle flame[00:00:38]
The thousand dreams I dreamed[00:00:41]
The splendid things I planned[00:00:44]
I always built to last[00:00:47]
On weak and shifting sands[00:00:49]
I lived by night[00:00:52]
Declined the naked light of day[00:00:54]
And only now I see[00:00:57]
how the years ran away[00:01:00]
Yesterday when I was young[00:01:03]
So many happy songs[00:01:08]
Were waiting to be sung[00:01:10]
So many wild pleasures[00:01:13]
That lay in store for me[00:01:15]
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see[00:01:19]
And youth at last ran out[00:01:27]
I never stopped to think[00:01:29]
What life was all about[00:01:32]
And every conversation[00:01:34]
That I can now recall[00:01:37]
Concerned itself with me[00:01:40]
And nothing else at all[00:01:43]
Yesterday the moon was blue[00:02:07]
And every crazy day[00:02:12]
Brought something new to do[00:02:14]
I used my magic age[00:02:17]
As if it were a wand[00:02:20]
And never saw the waste[00:02:22]
And emptiness beyond[00:02:25]
The games of love I played[00:02:28]
With arrogance and pride[00:02:29]
And every flame I lit[00:02:32]
too quickly quickly died[00:02:35]
The friends I made all seemed[00:02:38]
Somehow to drift away[00:02:41]
And only I am left[00:02:43]
On stage to end the play[00:02:46]
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung[00:02:48]
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue[00:02:53]
The time has come for me to pay[00:02:59]
For yesterday when I was young[00:03:03]
