(Charles Aznavour / Herbert Kretzmer)
2
Spoken : Somehow, it seems the love I knew was always the most destructive kind
3
Yesterday when I was young
4
The taste of life was sweet
5
As rain upon my tongue
6
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
7
The way the evening breeze
8
May tease the candle flame
9
The thousand dreams I dreamed
10
The splendid things I planned
11
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
12
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
13
And only now I see how the time ran away
14
Yesterday when I was young
15
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung
16
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
17
And so much pain my eyes refused to see
18
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
19
I never stopped to think what life was all about
20
And every conversation that I can now recall
21
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
22
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
23
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
24
The friends I made all somehow seemed to slip away
25
And only now I'm left alone to end the play, yeah
26
Oh, yesterday when I was young
27
So many, many songs were waiting to be sung
28
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
29
And so much pain my eyes refused to see
30
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
31
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
32
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
33
When I was young
