I Didn't Know What Time It Was

(Richard Rodgers/Lorenz Hart)



Once I was young

Yesterday perhaps

Danced with Jim and Paul

And kissed some other chaps

Once I was young

But never was naïve

I thought I had a trick or two

Up my imagination sleeve

And now I know

I was naïve

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 time it was

You held my hand

Warm like the month of May it was

And I'll say it was grand

Grandto be alive, to be young, to be mad

To be your alone

Grand to see your face

Feel your touch

Hear your voice

Say I'm all your own

I didn't know what time 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
