Roy Clark - When I Was Young (영화 `그 해 여름`)

Seems the love I've known
has always been
The most destructive kind
Yes 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'd always built to last on weak
and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned
the naked light of the 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 wild 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
Concerns 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 wand
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 am left on stage
to end the play
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
