I Didn't Know What Time It Was
7 7 -8 -7 -6 7 -6 7 -8
Once I was young, yesterday perhaps.
7 -8 7 -8 -7
Danced with Jim and Paul
-7 -6 7 -6 7 -8
And kissed some other chaps.
8 8 -9 -8 -8 7 8 7 8 -8
Once I was young but never was naive.
-8 8 7 -8 8 -9 -8 8
I thought I had a trick or two
-9 9 -9 8-8 7-7 -6
Up my imaginary sleeve---
-6 -6 -6 -8 -8 -6 -6 7
And now I know I was naive.
Refrain:
8 -7 7 -8 -8 -8 8 7
I didn't know what time it was,
8 -7 7 -8
Then, I met you.
-8 -6 -7 7 7 7 -8 -7
Oh, what a lovely time it was,
-6 -6 -6 -7 6 -9
How sublime it was, too.
8 -7 7 -8 -8 -8 8 7
I didn't know what day it was,
8 -7 7 -8
You held my hand.
-8 -6 -7 7 7 7 -8 -7
Warm like the month of May it was,
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 9
And I'll say it was grand.
-10 9 -9 8 -8 -8 -7 -8
Grand, to be alive, to be young,
-8 -7 -8 -8 -7 -8 -8 7
To be mad to be yours alone.
-10 9 -9 8 -8 -8 -7 -8
Grand, to see your face, feel your touch
-8 -7 -8 -8 -7 -8 7 9
Hear your voice say I'm all your own.
8 -7 7 -8 -8 -8 8 7
I didn't know what year it was,
8 -7 7 -8
Life was no prize.
-8 -6 -7 7 7 7 -8 -7
I wanted love and here it was
-6 -6 -6 -7 6 9
Shining out of your eyes.
-9 8 -7 7 -8 -8 -8 8 7 7
I'm wise, and I know what time it is now.
