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 time it was |
| You hold 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 |
| Tto be yours alone |
| Grand tosee your face |
| Feel your touch |
| Hear your voice say |
| I’m all your own |
| I didn’t know |
| What time it was |
| Live was no prize |
| I whanted love |
| And here it was |
| Shining out |
| Of your eyes |
| I’m wise |
| And i know |
| What time it is now |
| Once i was old |
| Twenty years or so |
| Rather well preserved |
| The wrinkles did’t show |
| Once i was old |
| But not too old for fun |
| I used to hunt |
| For little girls |
| Up my immaginary gun |
| But now i ain |
| For only one |
| 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 hold 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 tosee your face |
| Feel your touch |
| Hear your voice say |
| I’m all your own |
| I didn’t know |
| What time it was |
| Live was no prize |
| I whanted love |
| And here it was |
| Shining out |
| Of your eyes |
| I’m wise |
| And i know |
| What time it is now |
