ginette reno – yesterday when i was young lyrics
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. send “yesterday, when i was
