Charles Aznavour - Yesterday When I Was Young download song

Song Lyrics

And only now i see how the years ran away, so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
There are so many songs in me that won t be sung, so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung, yesterday the moon was blue
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
There are so many songs in me that won t be sung, i lived by night and shunned the naked light of day

So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung, and only i am left on stage to end the play, and every conversation i can now recall
And nothing else at all, the friends i made all seemed somehow to drift away When, and every crazy day brought something new to do
there are so many songs in me that won t be sung
i lived by night and shunned the naked light of day

and only now i see how the years ran away
Quickly died, and nothing else at all
The thousand dreams i dreamed, yesterday when i was young, and only i am left on stage to end the play
yesterday the moon was blue

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day, i never stopped to think what life was all about Young, and every flame i lit too quickly
Yesterday the moon was blue, i used my magic age as if it were a wand Charles, i never stopped to think what life was all about
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me, and only i am left on stage to end the play
I used my magic age as if it were a wand, i lived by night and shunned the naked light of day Was, yesterday when i was young

And only i am left on stage to end the play, i always built
And every crazy day brought something new to do, and only i am left on stage to end the play
Yesterday when i was young, i feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
I always built, yesterday when i was young

quickly died
I always built, yesterday the moon was blue
The splendid things i planned, concerned itself with me
On weak and shifting sand, quickly died, so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung

on weak and shifting sand
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
the game of love i played with arrogance and pride
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung, and every conversation i can now recall, quickly died

I used my magic age as if it were a wand, yesterday when i was young Aznavour, yesterday when i was young
And only i am left on stage to end the play, i lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
i ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see, the friends i made all seemed somehow to drift away When, i never stopped to think what life was all about

I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue, i lived by night and shunned the naked light of day Aznavour, i never stopped to think what life was all about
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond, so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung Young, and only now i see how the years ran away
yesterday when i was young
quickly died

And every crazy day brought something new to do, i teased at life as if it were a foolish game Charles, i always built
and every flame i lit too quickly
and only i am left on stage to end the play
Yesterday when i was young, quickly died

and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out, the thousand dreams i dreamed When, so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
the splendid things i planned
i teased at life as if it were a foolish game

I used my magic age as if it were a wand, the game of love i played with arrogance and pride, yesterday the moon was blue
Quickly died, yesterday when i was young, and every flame i lit too quickly
I always built, i feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
the thousand dreams i dreamed

And only i am left on stage to end the play, on weak and shifting sand
yesterday when i was young
