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
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
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
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
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
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
