Yesterday, When I Was Young - Mel Tormé[00:00:00]
Yesterday when I was young[00:00:00]
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue[00:00:07]
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game[00:00:12]
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame[00:00:18]
The thousand dreams I dreamed the splendid things I planned[00:00:23]
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand[00:00:29]
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day[00:00:35]
And only now I see how the years ran away[00:00:40]
Yesterday when I was young[00:00:46]
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung[00:00:51]
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me[00:00:57]
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see[00:01:02]
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out[00:01:07]
I never stopped to think what life was all about[00:01:13]
And every conversation I can now recall[00:01:18]
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all[00:01:23]
Yesterday the moon was blue[00:01:28]
And every crazy day brought something new to do[00:01:34]
I used my magic age as if itwere a wand[00:01:39]
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond[00:01:45]
The g ame of love I played with arrogance and pride[00:01:50]
And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died[00:01:56]
The friedns I made all seemed somehow to drift away[00:02:01]
And only I am left on stage to end the play[00:02:07]
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung[00:02:11]
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue[00:02:18]
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young[00:02:23]
