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 [Am7]too

I didn't know what day it was
You held my [A]hand
Warm like [F]the month of May it was
And I'll say it was [Am7]grand

Grand [Bm]to [C7]be [Am]alive, to [C7]be [Am]young
To be [Am]mad, to [C7]be [Am]yours alone
Grand [Bm]to [C7]see your face, feel your touch
Hear your voice say, ""I'm all [Em]your own""

I didn't know what year it was
Life was [Am7]no prize
I wanted love and [Bm]here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise and [Bm]I know what time it is now

Grand [Bm]to [C7]be [Am]alive, to [C7]be [Am]young
To be [Am]mad, to [C7]be [Am]yours alone
Grand [Bm]to [C7]see your face, feel your touch
Hear your voice say, ""I'm all [Em]your own""

I didn't know what year it was
