Yesterday When I Was Young by Julio Iglesias
Yesterday When I Was Young
Capo:no capo
#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.

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.
