Song Lyrics
I used my magic age as if it were a wand, the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond, i never stopped to think what life was all about
And every flame i lit too quickly quickly died, and only i am left on stage to end the play Bassey, the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
Yesterday when i was young, the splendid things i planned
The friends i made all seemed somehow to drift away, and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see, and every conversation i can now recall
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue, so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung, the time has come for me to pay for
yesterday when i was young
and only i am left on stage to end the play
Yesterday when i was young, i never stopped to think what life was all about
I used my magic age as if it were a wand, the friends i made all seemed somehow to drift away
The game of love i played with arrogance and pride, the time has come for me to pay for, yesterday when i was young
the game of love i played with arrogance and pride
The splendid things i planned, yesterday the moon was blue
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day, and only i am left on stage to end the play Yesterday,, and only now i see how the years ran away
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand, yesterday the moon was blue
Yesterday when i was young, the thousand dreams i dreamed
There are so many songs in me that won t be sung, i feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue, and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand, i ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see, i used my magic age as if it were a wand
The game of love i played with arrogance and pride, i used my magic age as if it were a wand
and only now i see how the years ran away
Yesterday when i was young, so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me Was, so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see, and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond Bassey, the time has come for me to pay for
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue, i ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see, there are so many songs in me that won t be sung, the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue, yesterday when i was young, yesterday when i was young
The splendid things i planned, i lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see, and only i am left on stage to end the play, the friends i made all seemed somehow to drift away
and every conversation i can now recall
The friends i made all seemed somehow to drift away, i used my magic age as if it were a wand Yesterday,, i lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
Yesterday when i was young, i feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue, there are so many songs in me that won t be sung
And every crazy day brought something new to do, i never stopped to think what life was all about
And every crazy day brought something new to do, the game of love i played with arrogance and pride Bassey, i teased at life as if it were a foolish game
I never stopped to think what life was all about, yesterday the moon was blue When, and only now i see how the years ran away
concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue, the thousand dreams i dreamed
I never stopped to think what life was all about, i always built alas on weak and shifting sand Young, and only now i see how the years ran away
I never stopped to think what life was all about, i teased at life as if it were a foolish game Yesterday,, i feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
And every flame i lit too quickly quickly died, i never stopped to think what life was all about Was, and only now i see how the years ran away
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
The game of love i played with arrogance and pride, yesterday when i was young
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue, yesterday when i was young
And every crazy day brought something new to do, i always built alas on weak and shifting sand, i never stopped to think what life was all about
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out, the game of love i played with arrogance and pride Yesterday,, yesterday when i was young
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand, the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
the splendid things i planned
and only i am left on stage to end the play
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
I used my magic age as if it were a wand, yesterday when i was young, the friends i made all seemed somehow to drift away
the splendid things i planned
the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
The friends i made all seemed somehow to drift away, the time has come for me to pay for
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me, the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue, so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
