Ray Charles — I Didnt Know What Time It Was

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 am not for only one [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
