《Yesterday When I Was Young》歌词

[00:00:14] Yesterday when I was young

[00:00:18] The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue

[00:00:24] I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

[00:00:30] The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame

[00:00:36] A thousand dreams I dreamed

[00:00:39] The splendid things I planned

[00:00:42] I always built alas on weak and shifting sand

[00:00:48] I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day

[00:00:54] And only now I see how the years ran away

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

[00:01:06] So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung

[00:01:11] So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me

[00:01:17] And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

[00:01:22] I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

[00:01:28] I never stopped to think what life was all about

[00:01:34] And every conversation I can now recall

[00:01:39] Concerned itself with me me me and nothing else at all

[00:01:46] Yesterday the moon was blue

[00:01:51] And every crazy day brought something new to do

[00:01:57] I used my magic age as if it were a wand

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

[00:02:08] The game of love I played with arrogance and pride

[00:02:14] And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died

[00:02:19] The friends I made all seemed somehow drift away

[00:02:26] And only I am left on stage to end the play

[00:02:33] There are so many songs in me that won't be sung

[00:02:38] I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

[00:02:45] The time has come for me to pay

[00:02:48] For yesterday when I was young young young young
