helen gamboa - yesterday when i was young lyrics

[verse 1]
yesterday, when i was young
the taste of life was sweet
as rained upon my tongue
i teased at life as if
it were a foolish game
the way an evening breeze
may tease a candle flame

[verse 2]
the thousand dreams i dreamed
the splendid things i planned
i always built to life
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 ran away

[verse 3]
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 could now recall
concerns itself with me
and nothing else at all
[verse 4]
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

[verse 5]
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 they drift away
and only now i’m left
on stage to end the play

[verse 6]
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
