[00:00.47]Yesterday, when I was young [00:06.20]The taste of life was sweet [00:09.47]Like rain upon my tongue [00:12.59]I teased at life as if It were a foolish game [00:18.36]The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame [00:24.36]The thousand dreams I dreamed [00:27.27]The splendid things I planned [00:30.46]I always built to last,On weak and shifting sand [00:36.56]I lived by night and shunned,The naked light of day [00:42.77]And only now I see how the years have ran away [00:48.27]Yesterday, when I was young [00:54.13]There were so many songs that waited to be sung [01:00.02]so many wild pleasures that lay in store for me [01:05.69]And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see [01:11.79]I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out [01:17.39]I never stopped to think what life was all about [01:23.34]And every conversation that I can now recall [01:29.51]Concerns itself with me and nothing else at all [01:58.33]Yesterday, the moon was blue [02:04.24]And every crazy day brought something new to do [02:09.99]And I used my magic age as if it were a wand [02:16.01]And never saw the waste,And emptiness beyond [02:21.87]The game of love I played with arrogance and pride [02:27.22]And every flame I lit,so quickly, quickly died [02:33.08]The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away [02:38.86]And only I am left on stage to end the play [02:44.71]Yesterday, when I was young [02:50.36]There were so many songs that waited to be sung [02:56.23]So many wild pleasures lay in store for me [03:02.08]And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see [03:07.98]There are so many songs in me that won't be sung [03:14.03]'Cause I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue [03:20.07]And The time has come for me to pay for yesterday [03:25.42]When I was young
