《Yesterday When I Was Young》歌词

[00:00:00] Yesterday When I Was Young - Roy Clark

[00:00:01] Lyrics by：D.R.

[00:00:02] Composed by：D.R.

[00:00:06] It seems the love I've known

[00:00:08] Has always been the most destructive kind

[00:00:12] I guess that's why now

[00:00:14] I feel so old

[00:00:17] Before my time

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

[00:00:26] The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue

[00:00:31] I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

[00:00:36] The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame

[00:00:42] The thousand dreams I dreamed the splendid things I planned

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

[00:00:53] I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day

[00:00:58] And only now I see how the years ran away

[00:01:04] Yesterday when I was young

[00:01:09] So many happy songs were waiting to be sung

[00:01:14] So many wild pleasures lay in store for me

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

[00:01:25] I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

[00:01:30] I never stopped to think what life was all about

[00:01:35] And every conversation I can now recall

[00:01:41] Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

[00:02:08] Yesterday the moon was blue

[00:02:12] And every crazy day brought something new to do

[00:02:18] I used my magic age as if it were a wand

[00:02:23] And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond

[00:02:29] The game of love I played with arrogance and pride

[00:02:34] And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died

[00:02:39] The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away

[00:02:44] And only I am left on stage to end the play

[00:02:50] There are so many songs in me that won't be sung

[00:02:55] I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

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

[00:03:04] Yesterday when I was young
