Yesterday When I Was Young Chords & Lyrics - Julio Iglesias

Yester[Dm7]day, when I was [G7]young,
the taste of life was [CM7]sweet, as rain upon my [FM7]tongue,
I teased at life, as [Fm]if it were a foolish [E7]game,
[Am] [E] + [A7]
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.

#2.
The thousand dreams I [Dm7]dreamed, the splendid things I [G7]planned,
I always built, [CM7]alas, on weak and shifting [FM7]sand,
I lived by night, and [Fm]shunned the naked light of [E7]day,
[Am] [E] + [A7]
and only now, I see, how the years ran away.

#3.
Yester[Dm7]day, when I was [G7]young,
so many happy [CM7]songs were waiting to be [FM7]sung,
so many wayward [Dm7]pleasures lay in store for [E7]me,
[Am] [E] + [A7]
and so much pain, my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so fast that [Dm7]time, and youth at last ran [G7]out,
I never stopped to [CM7]think, what life, was all [FM7]about,
and every conver[Dm7]sation, I can now re[E7]call,
[Am] [E] + [A7]
concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all.

#4.
Yester[Dm7]day, the moon was [G7]blue,
and every crazy [CM7]day, brought something new to [FM7]do,
I used my magic [Fm]age, as if it were a [E7]wand,
[Am] [E] + [A7]
and never saw the waste, and emptiness beyond.
The game of love I [Dm7]played, with arrogance and [G7]pride,
And every flame I [CM7]lit, too quickly, quickly [FM7]died,
the friends I made, all [Fm]seemed, somehow, to drift [E7]away,
[Am] [E] + [A7]
and only I am left, on stage, to end the play.

#5.
There are so many [Dm7]songs in me, that won't be [G7]sung,
I feel the bitter [CM7]taste, of tears upon my [FM7]tongue,
the time has come for [Dm7]me to pay for yester[E7]day..
when I was [Am]young.[Dm] [Am]
