[00:00.000]Yesterday when I was young
[00:06.167]The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
[00:12.345]I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
[00:17.931]The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
[00:23.916]The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
[00:30.257]I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand
[00:36.557]I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
[00:42.734]And only now I see how the years have run away
[00:48.055]Yesterday, when I was young
[00:54.001]There were so many songs that waited to be sung
[00:59.872]So many wayward pleasures that laid in store for me
[01:05.832]And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
[01:11.941]I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
[01:17.414]And I never stopped to think what life was all about
[01:23.629]And every conversation that I can recall
[01:29.487]Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
[01:58.644]Yesterday the moon was blue
[02:04.346]And every crazy day brought something new to do
[02:10.166]And I used my magic age as if it were a wand
[02:15.977]And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
[02:21.869]The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
[02:27.556]And every flame I lit so quickly, quickly died
[02:33.394]The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
[02:39.301]And only I am left on stage to end the play

作曲 : Herbert Kretzmer
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 have run away
Yesterday, when I was young
There were so many songs that waited to be sung
So many wayward pleasures that laid 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
And I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation that I can recall
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
And 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 so quickly, quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play
Yesterday, when I was young
There were so many songs that waited to be sung
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
Cause I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
And the time has come for me to pay for yesterday
When I was young...
