Shirley Bassey - Yesterday When I Was Young

Shirley Bassey - Yesterday When I Was Young


Fonte; www.lyricsmode.com/
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 g ame, 
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle fl ame. 
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 the day 
and only now I see how the years ran away. 

Yesterday when I was young 
so many happy 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 itwere 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
