《Yesterday When I Was Young》歌词

[00:00:18] Yesterday when I was young

[00:00:22] The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue

[00:00:28] I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

[00:00:35] The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame

[00:00:40] The thousand dreams I dreamed

[00:00:44] The splendid things I planned

[00:00:48] I always built to last on weak and shifting sand

[00:00:54] I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day

[00:01:00] And only now I see how the years ran away

[00:01:05] Yesterday when I was young

[00:01:11] So many songs were waiting to be sung

[00:01:17] So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me

[00:01:24] And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

[00:01:30] I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

[00:01:36] I never stopped to think what life was all about

[00:01:42] And every conversation I can now recall

[00:01:48] Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

[00:01:54] Esterday, the moon was blue

[00:02:01] And every crazy day, brought something new to do

[00:02:06] I used my magic age, as if it were a wand

[00:02:13] And never saw the waste, and the emptiness beyond

[00:02:19] The game of love I played, with arrogance and pride

[00:02:25] And every flame I lit, too quickly, quickly died

[00:02:31] The friends I made, all seemed somehow to drift away

[00:02:38] And only I am left, on stage to end the play

[00:02:43] Here are so many songs in me that won't be sung

[00:02:50] I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

[00:02:56] The time has come for me to pay for yesterday

[00:03:02] When I was young
