ฟังเพลงYesterday, When I Was Young (Live)

Yesterday, When I Was Young - Shirley Bassey

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 Yesterday
