Yesterday when i was young
the taste of life 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
the splendid things i planned
i always built alas
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 happy songs
were waiting to be sung
so many wild 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 every conversation
i can now recall
concerned itself with me
and nothing else at all
yesterday the moon was blue
and every crazy day
brought something new to do
i used my magic age
as if it were a wand
and never saw the worst
and the emptiness beyond
the game of love i played
with arrogance and pride
and every 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
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
