[00:00.00]Yesterday When I Was Young -Roy Clark[00:05.951]Seems the love I've known has always been[00:10.320]The most destructive kind[00:12.870]Yes that's why now I feel so old[00:16.799]Before my time[00:19.679]Yesterday when I was young[00:25.148]The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue[00:30.536]I teased at life as if it were a foolish game[00:36.314]The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame[00:41.742]The thousand dreams I dreamed[00:44.661]The splendid things I planned[00:47.648]I'd always built to last on weak and shifting sand[00:52.497]I lived by night and shunned[00:55.66]The naked light of the day[00:57.625]And only now I see how the years ran away[01:02.942]Yesterday when I was young[01:07.782]So many happy songs were waiting to be sung[01:13.341]So many wild pleasures lay in store for me[01:19.120]And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see[01:24.98]I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out[01:29.595]I never stopped to think what life was all about[01:35.285]And every conversation I can now recall[01:40.794]Concerned it self with me and nothing else at all[02:07.972]Yesterday the moon was blue[02:12.871]And every crazy day brought something new to do[02:17.879]I used my magic age as if it were a wand[02:23.499]And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond[02:28.527]The game of love I played with arrogance and pride[02:33.977]And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died[02:39.674]The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away[02:45.112]And only I am left on stage to end the play[02:50.60]There are so many songs in me that won't be sung[02:55.990]I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue[03:01.260]The time has come for me to pay for[03:04.318]Yesterday when I was young
