[Cm]
[Gm]
[Ab] [G] [Bb]
[Fm] Yesterday, [Gm] when I was young, the [G] taste of life was sweet as the rain [Ab] upon my tongue.
I teased [Fm] at life as if it were a foolish [G] game.
The way [Cm] the evening breeze made the candle flame.
[Bb] [Abm] The thousand dreams [Fm] I dreamed, the splendid things [Bb] I planned.
I always [Eb] built a house on weak [Ab] and sweeping sand.
I lived by night and [Fm] shunned the naked light of [G] day.
And only now [Cm] I see how the years run away.
[Gm] [Fm]
Yesterday, [Ab] when I [Bb] was young, so [Gm] many blinking songs were waiting [C] to be sung.
So many [Fm] were the pleasures in store [G] for me.
And so much [Cm] came my dazzled eyes refused to see.
[C] I [Fm] ran so fast at times and youth at last ran [Bb] out.
I never [Gm] stopped to think what life was [C] all about.
And every [Fm] conversation [D] I can now [G] recall
conserved itself [Cm] with me and nothing else at all.
[Fm] Yesterday, the [Ab] moon [Bb] was blue and every [Eb] crazy day brought something [Ab] new to do.
I [D] used my magic age as if it were [G] a wand.
I never [Cm] saw the waste and emptiness of yon.
[Eb] The game of [Fm] love I played [Ab] with arrogance and [Bb] pride.
And every [Eb] flame I lit quickly, [Ab] quickly died.
The friends I [D] made all seemed somehow to [G] drift away.
And only [Cm] I am left on stage to end the play.
There are [Fm] so many songs in me [G] that won't be sung.
I feel [Cm] the bitter [Eb] taste of tears [F] upon my tongue.
The time has [D] come for me to pay [Cm] for yesterday, [D] when I [G] [Cm] was young.
