1
Yesterday, when I was young
2
The taste of life was sweet
3
Like rain upon my tongue
4
I teased at life as if
5
It were a foolish game
6
The way an evening breeze
7
May tease a candle flame
8
The thousand dreams I dreamed
9
The splendid things I planned
10
I always built to last
11
On weak and shifting sand
12
I lived by night and shunned
13
The naked light of day
14
And only now I see
15
How the years have ran away
16
chorus...
17
Yesterday, when I was young
18
There were so many songs
19
That waited to be sung
20
so many wild pleasures
21
Lay in store for me
22
And so much pain
23
My dazzled eyes refused to see
24
I ran so fast that time
25
And youth at last ran out
26
I never stopped to think
27
What life was all about
28
And every conversation
29
That I can now recall
30
Concerns itself with me
31
And nothing else at all
32
Yesterday, the moon was blue
33
And every crazy day
34
Brought something new to do
35
And I used my magic age
36
As if it were a wand
37
And never saw the waste
38
And emptiness beyond
39
The game of love I played
40
With arrogance and pride
41
And every flame I lit
42
so quickly, quickly died
43
The friends I made all seemed
44
Somehow to drift away
45
And only I am left
46
On stage to end the play
47
repeat ..
48
There are so many songs in me
49
That won't be sung
50
I feel the bitter taste
51
Of tears upon my tongue
52
and The time has come for me
53
To pay for yesterday
54
When I was young
