Current song lyrics
Yesterday when i was young<br />the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.<br />i teased at life as if it were a foolish g ame,<br />the way the evening breeze may tease a candle fl ame.<br />the thousand dreams i dreamed, the splendid things i planned<br />i always built alas on weak and shifting sand.<br />i lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day<br />and only now i see how the years ran away.<br />Yesterday when i was young<br />so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung,<br />so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me<br />and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.<br />i ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,<br />i never stopped to think what life was all about<br />and every conversation i can now recall<br />concerned itself with me and nothing else at all.<br />Yesterday the moon was blue<br />and every crazy day brought something new to do.<br />i used my magic age as if itwere a wand<br />and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.<br />the g ame of love i played with arrogance and pride<br />and every flame i lit too quickly quickly died.<br />the friedns i made all seemed somehow to drift away<br />and only i am left on stage to end the play.<br />there are so many songs in me that won't be sung,<br />i feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.<br />the time has come for me to pay for yesterday when i was young.
