shirley bassey - yesterday when i was young lyrics

Loading...

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 the 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 lovely 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 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

yesterday when i was young
so many lovely songs were waiting
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

yesterday when i was young
so many lovely songs were waiting
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

yesterday when i was young
so many lovely songs were waiting
so many wayward pleasures
