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 Tto be yours alone Grand tosee 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 whanted 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 did't show Once i was old But not too old for fun I used to hunt For little girls Up my immaginary gun But now i ain 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 tosee 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 whanted love And here it was Shining out Of your eyes I'm wise And i know What time it is now
