ฟังเพลงYesterday When I Was Young

Yesterday When I Was Young - Dusty Springfield

Somehow, it seems the love

I knew was always

the most destructive kind

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 to last on

weak and shifting sand

I lived by night and shunned

the naked light of day

And only now I see

how the time ran away

Yesterday when I was young

So many lovely songs

were waiting to be sung

So many wild pleasures

lay in store for me

And so much pain

my 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

that 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

somehow seemed to slip away

And only now

I'm left alone to end the play, yeah

Oh, yesterday when I was young

So many,

many songs were waiting to be sung

So many wild pleasures

lay in store for me

And so much pain

my eyes refused to see

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
