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.
REFRAIN
 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  wanted love and here  it   was 
shining out of your eyes.
 I'm  wise,
and  I   know   what   time   it  is now.
