Yesterday When I Was Young

[ti:Yesterday When I Was Young] [ar:胡里奥] [al:192119] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] 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 the day And only now i see how the years ran away Yesterday when i was young So many drinking 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 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 itwere a wand And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond The game of love i played with arrogance and pride And every flame i lit too quickly quickly died The friedns i made all seemed somehow to drift away And only i am left on stage to end the play Yesterday when i was young
