[00:00.00]Yesterday When I Was Young - Matt Monro
[00:14.16]Yesterday when I was young
[00:21.43]The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
[00:28.05]I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
[00:34.69]The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
[00:41.44]The thousand dreams I dreamed
[00:44.72]The splendid things I planned
[00:48.77]I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
[00:55.55]I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
[01:02.08]And only now I see how the years ran away
[01:09.36]Yesterday when I was young
[01:15.87]So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
[01:22.56]So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
[01:29.31]And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
[01:36.35]I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
[01:43.14]I never stopped to think what life was all about
[01:49.99]And every conversation I can now recall
[01:57.15]Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
[02:31.51]There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
[02:38.88]I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
[02:45.26]The time has come for me to pay
[02:51.20]For yesterday when I was young
