Yesterday when i was young

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, 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
