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
