Yesterday When I Was Young
Dusty Springfield
Yesterday when I was young The taste of life was sweet As rain ypon my tounge I played at life as if It were a foolish game The way the evening breeze Plays with a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed The splendid things I planned I always built to last On weak and shifting sands I lived by night Declined the naked light of day And only now I see The years that ran away
Yesterday when I was young So many crazy songs Were waiting to be song So many crazy times That lay in store for me And so much pain inside My heart 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 Has all to do with me And nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue And every crazy dat Brought something new to do I used my magic age As if it were a wand And never say the waste And emptiness beyond
The games of love I played With arrogance and pride And every flame I lit So quickly quickly died The friends I made all seemed Somehow to drift away And oly I am left On stage to end the play
