Yesterday when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue. 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 sung 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 Had all to do with me, and nothing else at all Yesterday the moon was blue And every crazy day brought something new to do I Letras de cancionesused my magic age as if it were a wand And never saw 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 only I am left on stage to end the play Yesterday when I was young From Letras Mania
