K-pop Lyrics

Seem the love I've known has always been

The most destructive kind

Guess 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 always built, alas,

on weak and shifting sand

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of 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 way-ward 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 and

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 left on stage to end the way

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

Seem the love I've known has always been

The most destructive kind

Guess 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 always built, alas,

on weak and shifting sand

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of 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 way-ward 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 and

And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond

The game of love I played

With arrogance and pride and

The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away

And only I left on stage to end the way

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
