Lyrics

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 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 did not know
What year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and there it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise
And I know what time it is now
Grand to be alive
To be young
To be mad
To be yours alone
Grand to see your face
Hear your voice
Feel your touch
Say I'm all your own
I did not know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and there 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 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
Hear your voice
Feel your touch
Say I'm all your own
I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and there it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise
And I know what time it is now
