I Didn't Know What Time It Was (Vers. 1) - Helen Forrest, Artie Shaw

I didn’t know what time it was

That I met you

Oh what a lovely time it was

How sumblime 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 feel life, to be young, to be met, to be yours alone

Grand to see your face, feel your touch, hear your voice, say I’m all your own

And 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

Grand to feel life, to be young, and met, and yours alone

Grand to see your face, feel your touch, hear you voice, say I’m your own

I didn’t know what year it was

Life was no prize

I only wanted love and here it was

Shining out of your eyes

I’m wise and I know what time it is now
