Yesterday, When I Was Young - 1994 Remastered Version
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 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.

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.
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.
