YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG (HIER ENCORE)

WILLIE NELSON

Capo III

Tonalité :

Y esterday when I was yo ung

The taste of life was s weet as rain upon my tongue

I teased at life as if it were a foolish ga me

The way an evening b reeze may tease a candle flame

The thousand dreams I dr eamed the splendid things I pl anned

I always built to la st on weak and shifting s and

I lived by night and sh unned the naked light of d ay

And only now I se e how the years have run away

Y esterday when I was yo ung

S o many happy so ngs were waiting to be sung

So many wild p leasures lay in store for m e

And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

I ran so fast that ti me and youth at last ran o ut

I never stopped to th ink what life was all about

Every conversa tion that I can now re call

Concerned itself with m e and nothing else at all

Y esterday the moon was b lue

A nd every crazy d ay brought something new to do

I used my magic ag e as if it were a wa nd

And never saw the wa ste and emptiness beyond

The game of love I pl ayed with arrogance and pride

A nd every flame I lit too qu ickly quickly die d

The friends I made all se emed somehow to drift a way

And only I am le ft on stage to end the play

There are so many s ongs in me that won't be s ung

I feel the bitter ta ste of tears upon my t ongue

The time has come for me to pay for yest erday

When I was youn g
