I Don'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 |
| Then 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 |
| Once I was old, twenty years or so |
| Rather well preserved, the wrinkles didn’t show |
| Once I was old, but not too old for fun |
| I used to hunt for little girls up my imaginary gun |
| But now I ain’t for only one |
| I’m wise and I know what time it is now |
| I’m wise and I know what time it is now |
| I’m so wise and I know what time it is now |
