I Didn't Know What Time It Was

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
