I Didn't Know What Time It Was 1939 'Too Many Girls'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 May 2005

Once I was young, yesterday, perhaps,
danced with Jim and Paul
and kissed some other chaps.
Once I was young, but never was naïve,
I thought I had a trick or two
up my imaginary sleeve.
And now I know I was naïve!

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 a 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!

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 a 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!
