[00:00.00]Yesterday When I Was Young - Tapio Heinonen
[00:00.72]Yesterday when I was young
[00:06.12]The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
[00:11.57]I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
[00:17.06]The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
[00:22.51]The thousand dreams I dreamed
[00:25.37]The splendid things I planned
[00:28.09]I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
[00:33.61]I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
[00:39.02]And only now I see how the years ran away
[00:44.70]Yesterday when I was young
[00:49.86]So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
[00:55.29]So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
[01:00.70]And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
[01:06.08]I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
[01:11.49]I never stopped to think what life was all about
[01:16.85]And every conversation I can now recall
[01:22.26]Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
[01:28.13]Yesterday the moon was blue
[01:33.47]And every crazy day brought something new to do
[01:38.95]I used my magic age as if it were a wand
[01:44.44]And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
[01:49.81]The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
[01:55.34]And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
[02:00.65]The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
[02:06.10]And only I am left on stage to end the play
[02:11.59]There are so many songs I see that won't be sung
[02:17.16]I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
[02:22.61]The time has come for me to pay for
[02:26.32]Yesterday when I was young
