Lyrics

[00:00.632] Once I was young
[00:14.407] Yesterday, perhaps
[00:16.959] Danced with Jim and Paul
[00:19.463] And kissed some other chaps
[00:22.015] Once I was young
[00:24.375] But never was naive
[00:27.176] I thought I had a trick or two
[00:29.943] Up my imaginary sleeve
[00:35.735] And now I know I was naive
[00:45.927] I didn't know what time it was
[01:00.183] Then I met you
[01:04.585] Oh, what a lovely time it was
[01:11.119] How sublime it was too!
[01:15.791] I didn't know what day it was
[01:21.687] You held my hand
[01:26.440] Warm like the month of May it was
[01:32.430] And I'll say it was grand
[01:37.238] Grand to be alive, to be young
[01:42.110] To be mad, to be yours alone!
[01:48.182] Grand to see your face, feel your touch
[01:53.166] Hear your voice say I'm all your own
[01:59.342] I didn't know what year it was
[02:05.318] Life was no prize
[02:10.208] I wanted love and here it was
[02:16.230] Shining out of your eyes
[02:21.054] I'm wise
[02:23.519] And I know what time it is now
[02:30.022] Grand to be alive, to be young
[02:37.518] To be mad, to be yours alone!
[02:43.571] Grand to see your face, feel your touch
[02:48.335] Hear your voice say I'm all your own
[02:54.477] I didn't know what year it was
[03:00.517] Life was no prize
[03:05.621] I wanted love and here it was
[03:11.569] Shining out of your eyes
[03:16.286] I'm wise
[03:18.821] And I know what time it is now
