Yesterday, When I Was Young

Yesterday, When I Was Young:Julio Iglesias. Album - Starry Night - 1990. #1. 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 a candle flame. #2. 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. #3. Yesterday, when I was young, so many happy 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, Cm7 FM7 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. #4. 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, FM7 And every flame I lit, too quickly, quickly died, the friends I made, all seemed, somehow, to drift away, and only I am left, on stage, to end the play. #5. There are so many songs in me, that won't be sung, FM7 I feel the bitter taste, of tears upon my tongue, the time has come for me to pay for yesterday.. when I was young. A nineties smash from Kraziekhat.
