Yesterday When I Was Young
Eddy Arnold
Am
(início)
Dm G Yesterday when I was young C F the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue Dm E I teased at life as if it were a foolish game E7 Am the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
Verse
Dm G The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned C F I always built alas on weak and shifting sand Dm E I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day E7 Am and only now I see how the years ran away
Chorus
Dm G Yesterday when I was young C F so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung, Dm E so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me E7 Am and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
Verse
Dm G I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out C F I never stopped to think what life was all about Dm E and every conversation I can now recall E7 Am concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
Chorus
Dm G Yesterday the moon was blue C F and every crazy day brought something new to do Dm E I used my magic age as if it were a wand E7 Am and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond Dm G The game of love I played with arrogance and pride C F and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died Dm E The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away E7 Am and only I am left on stage to end the play Dm G There are so many songs in me that won't be sung C F I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue Dm E E7 Am The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
