(Verse)
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 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 time 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.
(Verse)
Once I was old--
Twenty years or so--
Rather well preserved,
The wrinkles didn`t show.
Once I ws old,
But not too old for fun.
I used to hunt for little girls
Up my imaginary gun.
But now I aim for only one!
