Version 2 of the lyrics

  Yesterday when I was young  Yesterday when I was young
  The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue  The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
  I teased at life as if it were a foolish game  I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
  The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame  The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame
  A thousand dreams I dreamed  A thousand dreams I dreamed
  The splendid things I planned  The splendid things I planned
  I always built alas on weak and shifting sand  I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
  I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day  I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
  And only now I see how the years ran away  And only now I see how the years ran away
  Yesterday when I was young  Yesterday when I was young
  So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung  So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung
  So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me  So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
  And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see  And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
  I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out  I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
  I never stopped to think what life was all about  I never stopped to think what life was all about
  And every conversation I can now recall  And every conversation I can now recall
1  Concerned itself with           me and nothing else at all   Concerned itself with me, me, me and nothing else at all 1
  Yesterday the moon was blue  Yesterday the moon was blue
  And every crazy day brought something new to do  And every crazy day brought something new to do
  I used my magic age as if it were a wand  I used my magic age as if it were a wand
  That never saw the waste and emptiness beyond  That never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
  The game of love I played with arrogance and pride  The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
  And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died  And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
  The friends I made all seemed somehow drift away  The friends I made all seemed somehow drift away
  And only I am left on stage to end the play  And only I am left on stage to end the play
  There are so many songs in me that won't be sung  There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
  I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue  I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
  The time has come for me to pay  The time has come for me to pay
  For yesterday....when I was young, young, young,......young  For yesterday....when I was young, young, young,......young
