 13329>Once I was young yesterday
 
 Perhaps danced with Jim and Paul and kissed some other chaps
 
 Once I was young but never was naive
 
 I thought I had a trick or two up my imaginary sleeve
 
 And now I know I was naive
 
 
 
 I didn't know what time it was then I met you
 
 Oh, what a lovely time it was how sublime it was too
 
 I didn't know what day it was you held my hand
 
 Warm like the month of May it was and I'll say it was grand
 
 
 
 Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours alone
 
 Grand to see your face, feel your touch, hear your voice
 
 Say I'm all your own
 
 
 
 I didn't know what year it was, life was no prize
 
 I wanted love and here it was, shining out of your eyes
 
 I'm wise and I know what time it is now
 
 
 
 I didn't know what time it was then I met you
 
 Oh, what a lovely time it was how sublime it was too
 
 I didn't know what day it was you held my hand
 
 Warm like the month of May it was and I'll say it was grand
 
 
 
 Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours alone
 
 Grand to see your face, feel your touch, hear your voice
 
 Say I'm all your own
 
 
 
 I didn't know what year it was, life was no prize
 
 I wanted love and here it was, shining out of your eyes
 
 I'm wise and I know what time it is now
