Nat “King” Cole
I Don’t Know What Time It Was
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 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
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise
And I know what time it is now
