Yesterday When I Was Young |
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 drinking song were waiting to be sung, |
So many wayward pleasures laid 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, 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 wand |
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 am left on stage to end the play. |
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. |
