Verse
D#m G#
Yesterday when I was young
C# Gb
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
D#m F
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
A#m
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
[Verse 2]
D#m G#
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
C# Gb
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand
D#m F
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
A#m
And only now I see how the years ran away
[Chorus]
Gb G#
Yesterday, when I was young
C# Gb
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
D#m F
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
A#m
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
Gb G#
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
C# Gb
I never stopped to think what life was all about
D#m F
And every conversation I can now recall
A#m
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.
[Verse 3]
D#m G#
Yesterday the moon was blue
C# Gb
And every crazy day brought something new to do
D#m F
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
A#m
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.
[Verse 4]
A#m D#m G#
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
C# Gb
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died.
D#m F
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
A#m
And only I am left on stage to end the play.
[Verse 5]
Gb G#
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
C# Gb
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
D#m F
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
A#m
When I was...young
[Interlude]
Gb G# C# Gb
D#m F A#m
[Chorus]
Gb G#
Yesterday, when I was young
C# Gb
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
D#m F
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
A#m
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
Gb G#
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
C# Gb
I never stopped to think what life was all about
D#m F
And every conversation I can now recall
A#m
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.
[Verse 6]
Gb G#
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
C# Gb
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
D#m F
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
A#m
When I was...young
[Outro]
Gb G#
La La La La, La La La La
C# Gb
La La La La, La La La La
D#m F
La La La La, La La La La
