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
But 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!
Oh, I didn't know what day it was
Till 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 yours alone

I didn't know what year it was
My 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
Had so 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 yours alone

I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
Yes, I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise
And I know what time it is now

I know where now
