Correct Yesterday When I Was Young

Lyrics:
Yesterday 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, alas, on weak and shifting sand, I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day And only now I see how the years ran away. Yesterday when I was young So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung, So many wayward 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 about, And every conversation I can now recall Concerned itself with me, me, and nothing else at all. Yesterday the moon was blue And every crazy day brought something new to do, I used my magic age as if it were a wand And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond. The game of love I played with arrogance and pride And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died. The friends I made all seemed, somehow, to drift away And only I am left on stage to end the play. There are so many songs in me that won't be sung, I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue. The time has come for me to pay for yesterday When I was young... Young... Young
