《Yesterday When I Was Young》歌词

[00:00:20] Yesterday when I was young

[00:00:25] The taste of life was sweet

[00:00:27] As rain upon my tongue

[00:00:30] I teased at life as if

[00:00:33] It were a foolish game

[00:00:34] The way the evening breeze

[00:00:38] may tease a candle flame

[00:00:41] The thousand dreams I dreamed

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

[00:00:47] I always built to last

[00:00:49] On weak and shifting sands

[00:00:52] I lived by night

[00:00:54] Declined the naked light of day

[00:00:57] And only now I see

[00:01:00] how the years ran away

[00:01:03] Yesterday when I was young

[00:01:08] So many happy songs

[00:01:10] Were waiting to be sung

[00:01:13] So many wild pleasures

[00:01:15] That lay in store for me

[00:01:19] And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

[00:01:27] And youth at last ran out

[00:01:29] I never stopped to think

[00:01:32] What life was all about

[00:01:34] And every conversation

[00:01:37] That I can now recall

[00:01:40] Concerned itself with me

[00:01:43] And nothing else at all

[00:02:07] Yesterday the moon was blue

[00:02:12] And every crazy day

[00:02:14] Brought something new to do

[00:02:17] I used my magic age

[00:02:20] As if it were a wand

[00:02:22] And never saw the waste

[00:02:25] And emptiness beyond

[00:02:28] The games of love I played

[00:02:29] With arrogance and pride

[00:02:32] And every flame I lit

[00:02:35] too quickly quickly died

[00:02:38] The friends I made all seemed

[00:02:41] Somehow to drift away

[00:02:43] And only I am left

[00:02:46] On stage to end the play

[00:02:48] There are so many songs in me that won't be sung

[00:02:53] I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

[00:02:59] The time has come for me to pay

[00:03:03] For yesterday when I was young
