Richard Rodgers / Lorenz Hart

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.

REFRAIN

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 time it was

You hold 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 tosee your face feel your touch

Hear your voice say I'm all your own.

I didn't know what time it was

Live was no prize.

I whanted love and here it was

Shining out of your eyes.

I'm wise

And I know what time it is now.

VERSE 2

Once I was old --

Twenty years or so --

Rather well preserved:

The wrinkles did't show.

Once I was old

But not too old for fun.

I used to hunt for little girls

Up my immaginary gun.

But now I ain for only one!

REFRAIN

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 time it was

You hold 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 tosee your face feel your touch

Hear your voice say I'm all your own.

I didn't know what time it was

Live was no prize.

I whanted love and here it was

Shining out of your eyes.

I'm wise

And I know what time it is now.
