[00:00.47] Yesterday, when I was young
[00:06.20] The taste of life was sweet
[00:09.47] Like rain upon my tongue
[00:12.59] I teased at life as if It were a foolish game
[00:18.36] The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame
[00:24.36] The thousand dreams I dreamed
[00:27.27] The splendid things I planned
[00:30.46] I always built to last,On weak and shifting sand
[00:36.56] I lived by night and shunned,The naked light of day
[00:42.77] And only now I see how the years have ran away
[00:48.27] Yesterday, when I was young
[00:54.13] There were so many songs that waited to be sung
[01:00.02] so many wild pleasures that lay in store for me
[01:05.69] And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
[01:11.79] I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
[01:17.39] I never stopped to think what life was all about
[01:23.34] And every conversation that I can now recall
[01:29.51] Concerns itself with me and nothing else at all
[01:58.33] Yesterday, the moon was blue
[02:04.24] And every crazy day brought something new to do
[02:09.99] And I used my magic age as if it were a wand
[02:16.01] And never saw the waste,And emptiness beyond
[02:21.87] The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
[02:27.22] And every flame I lit,so quickly, quickly died
[02:33.08] The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
[02:38.86] And only I am left on stage to end the play
[02:44.71] Yesterday, when I was young
[02:50.36] There were so many songs that waited to be sung
[02:56.23] So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
[03:02.08] And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
[03:07.98] There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
[03:14.03] 'Cause I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
[03:20.07] And The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
[03:25.42] When I was young
[00:00.47] Yesterday, when I was young
[00:06.20] The taste of life was sweet
[00:09.47] Like rain upon my tongue
[00:12.59] I teased at life as if It were a foolish game
[00:18.36] The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame
