I Didn't Know What Time It Was

I Didn't Know What Time It Was - Barbara Cook

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
