Only yesterday the future shone brightly

But now I’m all turned off

Keeping keepsakes to remind me of the old

Two forward, and one back

Pressured seconds feel as if eternity

Yet time is what I lack…

Oh, to be young again

Strong again and running like a stag

And all these years— how they flash by

Blending into a blur of what once was

Only yesterday it was a new day

But now it’s come and gone

Wasting time to try to hide my fading youth

What’s taking me so long?

Fleeting moments filling hours on the clock

I’m caught still as time moves on

Oh, to be young again

Strong again and running like a stag

And all these years— how they flash by

Blending into a blur of what once was
