Seem the love I've known has always been
|
|
The most destructive kind
|
|
Guess that's why now
|
|
I feel so old before my time
|
|
Yesterday When I Was Young
|
|
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
|
|
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
|
|
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
|
|
The thousand dreams I dreamed
|
|
The splendid things I planned I always built, alas,
|
|
on weak and shifting sand
|
|
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
|
|
And only now I see how the years ran away
|
|
Yesterday, When I Was Young
|
|
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
|
|
So many way-ward pleasures lay in store for me
|
|
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
|
|
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
|
|
I never stopped to think what life was all about
|
|
And every conversation I can now recall
|
|
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
|
|
Yesterday the moon was blue
|
|
And every crazy day brought something new to do
|
|
I used my magic age as if it were a and
|
|
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
|
|
The game of love I played
|
|
With arrogance and pride and
|
|
every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
|
|
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
|
|
And only I left on stage to end the way
|
|
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
|
|
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
|
|
The time has come for me to pay for
|
|
Yesterday, When I Was Young
