Yesterday when I was young |
| [00:05.89] |
the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue. |
| [00:12.19] |
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game, |
| [00:18.26] |
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame. |
| [00:24.05] |
The thousand dreams I dreamed, |
| [00:27.19] |
the splendid things I planned |
| [00:30.19] |
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand. |
| [00:36.51] |
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day |
| [00:42.22] |
and only now I see how the years ran away. |
| [00:48.24] |
Yesterday when I was young |
| [00:53.56] |
There were so many songs were waiting to be sung, |
| [01:00.00] |
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me |
| [01:05.64] |
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see. |
| [01:11.68] |
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out, |
| [01:17.71] |
I never stopped to think what life was all about |
| [01:23.13] |
and every conversation I can now recall |
| [01:29.25] |
concerned itself with me and nothing else at all. |
| [01:35.37] |
|
| [01:58.80] |
esterday, the moon was blue, |
| [02:04.00] |
nd every crazy day, brought something new to do, |
| [02:10.33] |
I used my magic age, as if it were a wand, |
| [02:15.75] |
And never saw the waste, and the emptiness beyond |
| [02:21.63] |
The game of love I played, with arrogance and pride, |
| [02:27.58] |
And every flame I lit, soo quickly, quickly died, |
| [02:33.21] |
The friends I made, all seemed somehow to drift away, |
| [02:39.36] |
And only I am left, on stage to end the play |
| [02:45.00] |
Yesterday when I was young |
| [02:50.68] |
so many happy songs were waiting to be sung, |
| [02:56.71] |
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me |
| [03:02.56] |
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see. |
| [03:14.33] |
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue. |
| [03:20.52] |
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday |
| [03:26.02] |
when I was young. |
| [17:10.00] |
here are so many songs in me that won't be sung |
