Yesterday When I Was Young (Hier Encore)
Ton : ECapo 3English
YAmesterday when I was yoD7ung
The taste of life was sGweet as rain upon my Ctongue
I teased at life as ifAm it were a foolish gaB7me
The way an evening bEmreeze may tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I drAmeamed the splendid things I plDanned
ID7 always built to laGst on weak and shifting sCand
I lived by night and shAmunned the naked light of dB7ay
And only now I seEme how the years have run away
YAmesterday when I was yoDung
SD7o many happy soGngs were waiting to be Csung
So many wild pAmleasures lay in store for mB7e
And so much painEm my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that tiAmme and youth at last ran oDut
ID7 never stopped to thGink what life was allEbmaj7 about
Every conversaAmtion that I can now reB7call
Concerned itself with mEme and nothing else at all

YAmesterday the moon was bDlue
AD7nd every crazy dGay brought something new to doC
I used my magic agAme as if it were a waB7nd
And never saw the waEmste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I plAmayed with arrogance and Dpride
AD7nd every flame I lit too quGickly quickly dieCd
The friends I made all seAmemed somehow to drift aB7way
And only I am leEmft on stage to end the play
There are so many sAmongs in me that won't be sDung
ID7 feel the bitter taGste of tears upon my tCongue
The time has come for meAm to pay for yestB7erday
When I was younEmg
