At The Time

At The Time - Jean Shepard

Written by：B. Anderson

I told him

That I loved him

'Cause I loved him

At the time

And I told him

That I didn't want

Any other lips

Touchin' mine

I whispered

Love your kisses

Are sweeter

Than the wine

But I'd never

Tasted champagne

At the time

At the time

I didn't know your name and I'd never seen your face

At the time

I'd never lost myself in your tender

Warm embrace

If you've never had

Filet mignon

Peanut butter

Taste just fine

And that's the way it was

When I loved him

At the time

When I found you

I started hearin'

Pretty music

I'd never heard

And quietly

When we spoke of love

It was like I'd learned

A brand new word

I once thought

I'd seen everything

But till I met you I was blind

And I wonder now

Was I even born

At the time

At the time

I didn't know your name and I'd never seen your face

At the time

I'd never lost myself in your tender

Warm embrace

If you've never had

A T bone steak

Saltine crackers

Taste just fine

And that's the way it was

When I loved him

At the time

If you've never been

To Paris France

Big spring Texas will suit you fine

And that's the way it was

When I loved him

At the time
