Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet
As rain opon my tounge
I teased 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
How years that ran away
Yesterday when I was young
So many happy songs
Were waiting to be sung
So many crazy times
That lay in store for me
And so much pain inside
My desert eye 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
too quickly quickly died
The friends I made all seemed
Somehow to drift away
And oly I am left
On stage to end the play
