Eddy Arnold - Yesterday When I Was Young Lyrics
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
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
And only now I see how the years ran away
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
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
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
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
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young

Eddy Arnold Yesterday When I Was Young Comments
To all my yesterdays & To Edy Arnold and your yesterdays.
It is painful to think about yesterday, because I was young then and yesterday is gone forever ..
Thank you so much for giving the video your utmost care and attention Gloria.
felixbautista you're welcome. As always my memories are yesterday.
Nice song.
Thank you Mark
You're welcome
At year 75 of this life; this song comes as an ode to the foibles and failings I creted with what G-d gave me. I can't go back but i can strive to smile envelope kindness and understanding that all of the creatures of this Earth are faulted.
@Jim Key well said Jim.. always think you're not alone in this manner of life's outlook.
