Yesterday When I Was Young

yesterday when i was young Dm G yesterday when i was young , C F the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue Dm E i teased at life as if it were a foolish game Am the way the evening breeze may tease the 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 day and only now i see how the time ran away Chorus : Dm G yesterday when i was young C F so many lovely songs were waiting to be sung Dm E so many wild pleasures lay in store for me Am and so much pain my 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 that i can now recall concerned itself with me and nothing else at all the game of love i played with arrogance and pride and every flame i lit too quickly , quickly died the friends i made all somehow seemed to slip away and only now i’m left alone to end the play , yeah Chorus 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 by : jose duarte jtduarte1@gmail . com
