I Didn't Know What Time It Was

Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers

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 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 says "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

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
