This is a song by a man named Roy Clark. He might of wrote the lyrics but God gave him the words, when I heard this song I had to write it down but remember I cannot type that fast but I did and ok job I think.
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 planed, I always built to last on weaken shifting sands, I lived by night and shunned the naked light of 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 laid in store for me, and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see, I ran so fast that time and youth has run out I never stopped to think what life was all about and every conversation I can now recall and signs itself at 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 waist and emptiness beyond, a game of love I played with arrogates and pride, and every flame I light to quickly quickly died, The friends I made all seem somehow to drift away and only I’m left on stage to in 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.
In God’s Love. Richard.
