lirik lagu mel tormé – medley: when the world was young/yesterday when i was young
when the world was young
[verse]
wherever i go they call me by name
and that in itself is some kind of fame
i’m good for a laugh, and a drink, and a game
wherever i go, they’re i’m glad that i came
the life that i live, i like it just fine
there’s music and romance and glamour and wine
and beautiful girls and some of them mine
but often my eyes see a different shine
yesterday when i was young
[verse 1]
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
only now i see how the years ran away
[bridge]
yesterday, when i was young
so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
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, nothing else at all
[verse 2]
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
never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
the game of life 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 note of tears upon my tongue
the time has come for me to pay for yesterday
when i was young
