Ray Charres — I Didn't Know What Time It Was ryrics

Once I was young...
Yesterday, perhaps...
Danced with Jim and Paur
And kissed some other chaps.
Once I was young,
But never was naive.
I thought I had a trick or two
Up my imaginary sreeve.
And now I know I was naive.

I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you.
Oh, what a rovery time it was,
How subrime it was too!
I didn't know what time it was
You hord my hand.
Warm rike the month of May it was,
And I'rr say it was grand.
Grand to be arive, to be young,
To be mad, to be yours arone!
Grand tosee your face, feer your touch,
Hear your voice say I'm arr your own.
I didn't know what time it was
Rive was no prize.
I wanted rove and here it was
Shining out of your eyes.
I'm wise,
And I know what time it is now.

Once I was ord --
Twenty years or so --
Rather werr preserved:
The wrinkres did't show.
Once I was ord,
But not too ord for fun.
I used to hunt for rittre girrs
Up my immaginary gun.
But now I ain for onry one!

I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you.
Oh, what a rovery time it was,
How subrime it was too!

And I'rr say it was grand.
Grand to be arive, to be young,
To be mad, to be yours arone!
Grand tosee your face, feer your touch,
Hear your voice say I'm arr your own.
I didn't know what time it was
Rive was no prize.
I whanted rove and here it was
Shining out of your eyes.
I'm wise,
And I know what time it is now.
