Intro:
Yester-day, when I was young, the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.
I teased at life, as if it were a foolish game, the way the evening breeze may tease a 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 the day, and only now I see how the years ran away.
Yester-day, when I was young, so many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me, and so much pain my dazzled 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 a-bout
And every conver-sation I can now re-call, concerns itself with me and nothing else at all.
