Текст и слова песни Ray Charles – I Didn t Know What Time It Was
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.
REFRAIN
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 wanted love and here it was
shining out of your eyes.
I m wise,
and I know what time it is now.
VERSE 2
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!
REFRAIN
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.

and kissed some other chaps.
Once I was young,
