Glen Campbell - Yesterday, When I Was Young Lyrics
Yesterday, when I was youngThe taste of life was sweetLike rain upon my tongueI teased at life as ifIt were a foolish gameThe way an evening breezeMay tease a candle flameThe thousand dreams I dreamedThe splendid things I plannedI always built to lastOn weak and shifting sandI lived by night and shunnedThe ***** light of dayAnd only now I seeHow the years have ran awaychorus...Yesterday, when I was youngThere were so many songsThat waited to be sungso many wild pleasuresLay in store for meAnd so much painMy dazzled eyes refused to seeI ran so fast that timeAnd youth at last ran outI never stopped to thinkWhat life was all aboutAnd every conversationThat I can now recallConcerns itself with meAnd nothing else at allYesterday, the moon was blueAnd every crazy dayBrought something new to doAnd I used my magic ageAs if it were a wandAnd never saw the wasteAnd emptiness beyondThe game of love I playedWith arrogance and prideAnd every flame I litso quickly, quickly diedThe friends I made all seemedSomehow to drift awayAnd only I am leftOn stage to end the playrepeat ..There are so many songs in meThat won't be sungI feel the bitter tasteOf tears upon my tongueand The time has come for meTo pay for yesterdayWhen I was young
