I Didn't Know What Time It Was Lyrics - Charlie Parker

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 ain't 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
