00:11Yesterday
00:12Yesterday, when I was young
00:16So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
00:22So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
00:28And so much spring my dazzled eyes refused to see
00:35Yesterday, when I was young
00:40The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
00:45I teased that life as if it were a foolish game
00:51The way that evening breathes may tease a candle flame
00:57The thousand dreams I dreamed
01:00The splendid things I planned
01:03I always feel to last on weak and shifting sands
01:09I lived my life and shone the naked light of day
01:14And only now I see how it is ran away
01:21Yesterday, when I was young
01:25So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
01:31So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
01:37And so much spring my dazzled eyes refused to see
01:42I ran so fast that time
01:46And youth and lives ran out
01:49I never stopped to think
01:51What life was all about
01:54And every conversation
01:57I can now recall
02:00Concerned itself with me
02:03And nothing else at all
02:06And nothing else at all
02:32I was blue
02:33And every crazy day
02:37Brought something new to do
02:39I used my magic age
02:42As if it were a wand
02:45And never saw the waste
02:48Emptiness beyond
02:50The game of love
02:52The game of love I played
02:54With our guns and pride
02:57And every flame I lit
02:59Too quickly, quickly died
03:02The friends I've made all sales
03:05Somehow to drift away
03:07And only I am left on stage
03:11To end the play
03:13There are so many songs
03:16In me that won't be sung
03:19I feel the bitter taste
03:22Of tears upon my tongue
03:25The time has come for me
03:28To pay for yesterday
03:32When I was young
03:50Time isceral
