[ti:Yesterday] [ar:Lena Horne] [al:Empathy] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Yesterday - Lena Horne [00:10.82]Yesterday when I was young [00:17.15] [00:18.41]The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my [00:23.90]Tongue [00:25.51] [00:26.31]I teased with life as if it were a silly [00:30.71]Game [00:32.07] [00:34.04]The way the evening breeze can tease a candle flame [00:43.22]The thousand dreams I dreamed the splendid things I planned [00:51.88]I always built alas on weak and shifting sand [00:59.70] [01:00.39]I lived by night and I shunned the naked light [01:05.24]Of day [01:06.71] [01:08.88]And only now I see how the years have ran [01:15.19]Away [01:16.31] [01:17.54]Yesterday when I was young [01:22.36] [01:23.15]So many happy songs were waiting to be sung [01:28.71]So many wild pleasures lay in store for me [01:34.38]And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see [01:39.88]I ran so fast that time and youth at last [01:44.08]Ran out [01:45.40]I never stopped to think what life was all [01:49.85]About [01:51.16]And every conversation I can now recall [01:56.75]Concerned itself with me just me and nothing else at all [02:01.75] [02:45.69]Yes [02:46.84]Yesterday the moon was blue [02:50.65] [02:51.70]And every crazy day brought something new to do [02:55.89] [02:56.73]I used my magic youth as if it were a [03:00.70]Wand [03:02.00]And never saw the worst worst and the emptiness beyond [03:07.36]The game of love I played with arrogance and pride [03:13.05]And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died [03:18.12]The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away [03:23.32] [03:24.12]And only I am left on stage to end the [03:28.36]Play [03:29.50]There are so many have songs in me that won't be [03:33.56]Sung [03:34.71]I feel the bitter taste of tears up tears upon my tongue [03:39.92]The time has come for me to pay [03:43.87]For yesterday when I was young
