Yesterday, When I Was Young:Julio Iglesias. Album - Starry Night - 1990. #1. Dm7 G7 Yesterday, when I was young, Cm7 Fm7 the taste of life was sweet, as rain upon my tongue, Fm E7 I teased at life, as if it were a foolish game, Am E+ A7 the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame. #2. Dm7 G7 The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned, Cm7 Fm7 I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand, Fm E7 I lived by night, and shunned the naked light of day, Am E+ A7 and only now, I see, how the years ran away. #3. Dm7 G7 Yesterday, when I was young, Cm7 Fm7 so many happy songs were waiting to be sung, Dm7 E7 so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me, Am E+ A7 and so much pain, my dazzled eyes refused to see. Dm7 G7 I ran so fast that time, and youth at last ran out, Cm7 Fm7 I never stopped to think, what life, was all about, Dm7 E7 and every conversation, I can now recall, Am E+ A7 concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all. #4. Dm7 G7 Yesterday, the moon was blue, Cm7 Fm7 and every crazy day, brought something new to do, Fm E7 I used my magic age, as if it were a wand, Am E+ A7 and never saw the waste, and emptiness beyond. Dm7 G7 The game of love I played, with arrogance and pride, Cm7 Fm7 And every flame I lit, too quickly, quickly died, Fm E7 the friends I made, all seemed, somehow, to drift away, Am E+ A7 and only I am left, on stage, to end the play. #5. Dm7 G7 There are so many songs in me, that won't be sung, Cm7 Fm7 I feel the bitter taste, of tears upon my tongue, Dm7 E7 the time has come for me to pay for yesterday.. Am Dm Am when I was young. A nineties smash from Kraziekhat.
