Yesterday When I Was Young -- Roy Clark

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 the day
And only now i see how the years ran away.
