Yesterday When I Was Young |
| Yesterday when I was young |
| The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue |
| I played at life as if it were a foolish game |
| The way the evening breeze plays with a candle flame |
| The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned |
| I always built to last on weak and shifting sands |
| I lived by night, declined the naked light of day |
| And only now I see the years that ran away |
| Yesterday when I was young |
| So many crazy songs were waiting to be sung |
| So many crazy times that lay in store for me |
| And so much pain inside, my heart 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 that I can now recall |
| Had all to do 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 wand |
| And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond |
| The games of love I played with arrogance and pride |
| And every flame I lit, so quickly quickly died |
| The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away |
| And only I am left on stage to end the play |
| Yesterday when I was young |
