| [00:11.11] |
Somehow, it seems the love I knew was always the most destructive kind |
| [00:20.36] |
Yesterday when I was young |
| [00:26.15] |
The taste of life was sweet |
| [00:29.40] |
As rain upon my tongue |
| [00:32.35] |
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game |
| [00:38.10] |
The way the evening breeze |
| [00:40.46] |
May tease the candle flame |
| [00:43.52] |
The thousand dreams I dreamed |
| [00:46.28] |
The splendid things I planned |
| [00:49.43] |
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand |
| [00:55.56] |
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day |
| [01:01.04] |
And only now I see how the time ran away |
| [01:07.09] |
Yesterday when I was young |
| [01:12.42] |
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung |
| [01:18.28] |
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me |
| [01:23.55] |
And so much pain my eyes refused to see |
| [01:29.23] |
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out |
| [01:34.78] |
I never stopped to think what life was all about |
| [01:40.07] |
And every conversation that I can now recall |
| [01:45.69] |
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all |
| [01:51.66] |
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride |
| [01:57.22] |
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died |
| [02:03.13] |
The friends I made all somehow seemed to slip away |
| [02:08.70] |
And only now I'm left alone to end the play, yeah |
| [02:36.86] |
Oh, yesterday when I was young |
| [02:41.51] |
So many, many songs were waiting to be sung |
| [02:47.18] |
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me |
| [02:52.30] |
And so much pain my eyes refused to see |
| [02:58.22] |
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung |
| [03:04.17] |
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue |
| [03:09.93] |
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday |
| [03:17.74] |
When I was young |
