[00:11.11]Somehow, it seems the love I knew was always the most destructive kind
[00:20.36]Yesterday when I was young
[00:26.15]The taste of life was sweet
[00:29.40]As rain upon my tongue
[00:32.35]I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
[00:38.10]The way the evening breeze
[00:40.46]May tease the candle flame
[00:43.52]The thousand dreams I dreamed
[00:46.28]The splendid things I planned
[00:49.43]I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
[00:55.56]I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
[01:01.04]And only now I see how the time ran away
[01:07.09]Yesterday when I was young
[01:12.42]So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung
[01:18.28]So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
[01:23.55]And so much pain my eyes refused to see
[01:29.23]I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
[01:34.78]I never stopped to think what life was all about
[01:40.07]And every conversation that I can now recall
[01:45.69]Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
[01:51.66]The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
[01:57.22]And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
[02:03.13]The friends I made all somehow seemed to slip away
[02:08.70]And only now I'm left alone to end the play, yeah
[02:36.86]Oh, yesterday when I was young
[02:41.51]So many, many songs were waiting to be sung
[02:47.18]So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
[02:52.30]And so much pain my eyes refused to see
[02:58.22]There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
[03:04.17]I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
[03:09.93]The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
[03:17.74]When I was young
