Yesterday When I Was Young
Yesterday When I Was Young -许冠杰（Hui ）
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
Way the evening breeze
May tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built you last
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 happy songs
Were waiting to be song
So many word pleasures
Lay in store for me
And so much pain my
Dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fist 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 want
And never saw the waste
And emptiness beyond
The game of love I played
The arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit
Too quickly quickly died
My friends I made all seemed
Somehow the 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
