Charles Aznavour Yesterday When I Was Young Lyrics

Seems the love I’ve known
Has always been
The most destructive kind
Yes, that’s why now I feel so old
Before my time

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’d always built to last
On weak and shifting sand
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 wild 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
Concerned itself with me
And nothing else at all

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
