Yesterday wehn I was young The taste of life was sweet
As rain ypon my tounge I played at life as if
It were a foolish game The way the evening breeze
Plays with a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned I always built to last
On weak and shifting sands I lived by night
Declined the naked light of day And only now I see
The years that ran away
Yesterday when I was young So many crazy SONGs
Were waiting to be SONG So many crazy times
That lay in store for me And so much pain inside
My heart 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 That I can now recall
Has all to do with me And nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue And every crazy dat
Brought something new to do I used my magic age
As if it were a wand And never say the waste
And emptiness beyond
The games of love I played With arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit So quickly quickly died
The friends I made all seemed Somehow to drift away
And oly I am left On stage to end the play
Yesterday when I was young
