《Yesterday， When I Was Young》歌词

[00:00:00] Yesterday, When I Was Young - Mel Tormé

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

[00:00:07] The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue

[00:00:12] I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

[00:00:18] The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame

[00:00:23] The thousand dreams I dreamed the splendid things I planned

[00:00:29] I always built alas on weak and shifting sand

[00:00:35] I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day

[00:00:40] And only now I see how the years ran away

[00:00:46] Yesterday when I was young

[00:00:51] So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung

[00:00:57] So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me

[00:01:02] And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

[00:01:07] I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

[00:01:13] I never stopped to think what life was all about

[00:01:18] And every conversation I can now recall

[00:01:23] Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

[00:01:28] Yesterday the moon was blue

[00:01:34] And every crazy day brought something new to do

[00:01:39] I used my magic age as if itwere a wand

[00:01:45] And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond

[00:01:50] The g ame of love I played with arrogance and pride

[00:01:56] And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died

[00:02:01] The friedns I made all seemed somehow to drift away

[00:02:07] And only I am left on stage to end the play

[00:02:11] There are so many songs in me that won't be sung

[00:02:18] I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

[00:02:23] The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
