Lyrics:

Yesterday when I was young
The taste of love was sweet,
as rain upon my tongue;
I teased at life as if
it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze
may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed,
he splendid things I planned
I always built to last
on weak and shifting sand;
I lived by night and shunned
the naked light of day,
And only now I see
how the years ran away.
Yesterday when I was young,
So many lovely songs
were waiting to be sung,
So many wayward pleasures
lay in store for me,
And so much pain my
dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so fast that time
and youth, at last, ran out,
I never stopped to think
what life was all about;
And ev'ry conversation
I can now recall
Concerned itself with me,
and nothing else at all.

Yesterday the moon was blue,
And ev'ry crazy day
brought something new to do,
I used my magic age
as if it were a wand,
And never saw the waste
and emptiness beyond.
The game of love I played
with arrogance and pride,
And ev'ry flame I lit
too quickly, quickly died;
The friends I made all seemed
somehow to drift away
And only I am left
on stage to end the play.
Yesterday when I was young
The taste of love was sweet,
as rain upon my tongue;
I teased at life as if
it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze
may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed,
he splendid things I planned
I always built to last
on weak and shifting sand;
I lived by night and shunned
the naked light of day,
And only now I see
how the years ran away.
There are so many songs
in me that won't be sung,
I feel the bitter taste
of tears upon my tongue;
The time has come for me
to pay for yesterday
When I was young.
