[Intro]
Once, I was young
Yesterday, perhaps
Danced with Jim and Paul
And kissed some other chaps
Once I was young
But never was naïve
I thought I had a trick or two
Up my imaginary sleeve
And now I know I was naïve

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
I didn't know what year 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was
And sublime it was too
I didn't know what day it was
You hold my hand
Warm like the month of May it was
And I'll say it was grand

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
I didn't know what year 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
