1
Yesterday when I was young
2
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
3
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
4
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
5
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
6
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand
7
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
8
And only now I see how the years ran away
9
Yesterday when I was young
10
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
11
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
12
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
13
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
14
I never stopped to think what life was all about
15
And every conversation I can now recall
16
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
17
Yesterday the moon was blue
18
And every crazy day brought something new to do
19
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
20
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
21
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
22
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
23
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
24
And only I am left on stage to end the play
25
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
26
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
27
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
