I Didn't Know What Time It Was Lyrics - Black Coffee - Peggy Lee

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 day it was 

Then you held 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 year it was 

Life was no prize 

I wanted love and here it was 

Shining out of your eyes 

Photos 

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'm wise and I know what time it is now 

I'm wise and I know what time it is now 

I'm so wise and I know what time it is now
