[00:00.00]Yesterday When I Was Young - Glen Campbell
[00:00.81]Yesterday when I was young
[00:06.34]The taste of life was sweet
[00:09.29]Like rain upon my tongue
[00:12.38]I teased at life as if
[00:15.47]It were a foolish game
[00:18.20]The way an evening breeze
[00:21.69]May tease a candle flame
[00:24.40]The thousand dreams I dreamed
[00:27.26]The splendid things I planned
[00:29.98]I always built to last
[00:33.15]On weak and shifting sand
[00:36.00]I lived by night and shunned
[00:39.43]The naked light of day
[00:42.44]And only now I see
[00:45.35]How the years have ran away
[00:48.43]Yesterday when I was young
[00:54.04]There were so many songs
[00:57.20]That waited to be sung
[01:00.06]So many wild pleasures
[01:03.11]Lay in store for me
[01:05.77]And so much pain
[01:07.73]My dazzled eyes refused to see
[01:11.98]I ran so fast that time
[01:14.63]And youth at last ran out
[01:17.24]I never stopped to think
[01:20.22]What life was all about
[01:23.38]And every conversation
[01:26.40]That I can now recall
[01:29.65]Concerns itself with me
[01:32.55]And nothing else at all
[01:58.92]Yesterday the moon was blue
[02:04.82]And every crazy day
[02:07.62]Brought something new to do
[02:10.54]And I used my magic age
[02:13.20]As if it were a wand
[02:16.39]And never saw the waste
[02:19.30]And emptiness beyond
[02:22.23]The game of love I played
[02:25.08]With arrogance and pride
[02:27.89]And every flame I lit
[02:30.52]So quickly quickly died
[02:33.51]The friends I made all seemed
[02:36.42]Somehow to drift away
[02:39.25]And only I am left
[02:42.25]On stage to end the play
[02:45.45]Yesterday when I was young
[02:51.20]There were so many songs
[02:53.97]That waited to be sung
[02:56.46]So many wild pleasures
[03:00.16]Lay in store for me
[03:02.53]And so much pain
[03:04.37]My dazzled eyes refused to see
[03:08.84]There are so many songs in me
[03:12.21]That won't be sung
[03:14.16]I feel the bitter taste
[03:16.93]Of tears upon my tongue
[03:19.87]And The time has come for me
[03:23.23]To pay for yesterday
[03:25.81]When I was young
