I Didn't Know What Time It Was Lyrics - Live At Tavern On The Green - Nancy Lamott

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 

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 to see 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 wanted love 

And here it was 

Shining out 

Of your eyes 

I'm wise 

And I know 

What time it is now 

Once I was old 

Twenty years or so 

Rather well preserved 

The wrinkles didn't show 

Once I was old 

But not too old for fun 

I used to hunt 

For little girls 

Up my imaginary gun 

But now I ain't 

For only one 

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 to see 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 wanted love 

And here it was 

Shining out 

Of your eyes 

I'm wise 

And I know 

What time it is now
