《Yesterday When I Was Young》歌词

[00:00:06] Yesterday when I was young

[00:00:11] The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue

[00:00:17] I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

[00:00:24] The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame

[00:00:32] The thousand dreams I dreamed

[00:00:35] The splendid things I planned

[00:00:38] I always built alas

[00:00:41] On weak and shifting sand

[00:00:44] I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day

[00:00:49] And only now I see how the years ran away

[00:00:55] Yesterday when I was young

[00:00:59] So many happy songs were waiting to be sung

[00:01:05] So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me

[00:01:10] And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

[00:01:15] I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

[00:01:21] I never stopped to think what life was all about

[00:01:26] And every conversation I can now recall concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

[00:01:58] Yesterday the moon was blue

[00:02:04] And every crazy day brought something new to do

[00:02:09] I used my magic age as if it were a wand

[00:02:15] And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond

[00:02:20] The game of love I played with arrogance and pride

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

[00:02:30] The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away

[00:02:36] And only I am left on stage to end the play

[00:02:41] There are so many songs in me that won't be sung

[00:02:46] I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

[00:03:09] The time has come for me to pay for Yesterday

[00:03:26] When I was Young

[00:03:29] Repeat
