[00:00.00]Yesterday When I Was Young - Graham Blvd.
[00:20.11]Yesterday when I was young,
[00:24.41]The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue,
[00:29.78]I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
[00:35.06]The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame;
[00:40.11]The thousand dreams I dreamed,
[00:42.72]The splendid things I planned
[00:45.30]I always built, alas,
[00:47.72]On weak and shifting sand;
[00:50.62]I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
[00:56.10]And only now I see how the years ran away.
[01:01.16]Yesterday, when I was young,
[01:06.05]So many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
[01:11.39]So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
[01:16.58]And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see,
[01:22.02]I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
[01:27.04]I never stopped to think what life was all about
[01:32.36]And every conversation
[01:35.21]I can now recall concerned itself with me,
[01:40.41]And nothing else at all.
[02:04.26]Yesterday the moon was blue,
[02:09.27]And every crazy day brought something new to do,
[02:14.66]I used my magic age as if it were a wand,
[02:20.13]And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond;
[02:25.26]The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
[02:29.93]And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died;
[02:35.31]The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
[02:40.64]And only I am left on stage to end the play.
[02:45.84]There are so many songs in me that won't be sung,
[02:50.92]I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue,
[02:56.29]The time has come for me to pay for Yesterday
[03:02.90]When I was Young.
