Yesterday When I Was Young
YesterDmday when I was Gyoung, The taste of life was Csweet as rain upoFn my tongue I teasedDm at life as Eif it were a foolish game The way the evening Ambreeze may tease the candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I always built to last on weak and shifting sand I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day And only now I see how the time ran away Chorus:
YesterDmday when I was Gyoung So many lovely Csongs were waFiting to be sung So many wiDmld pleasuEres lay in store for me And so much Ampain my 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 that I can now recall Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all The game of love I played with arrogance and pride And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died The friends I made all somehow seemed to slip away And only now I'm left alone to end the play, yeah Chorus There are so many songs in me that won't be sung I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue The time has come for me to pay for yesterday When I was young by: José Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com
