At the Time
Love's Evolution: From Champagne Dreams to T-Bone Realities
Lyrics
I told him that I loved him
I expressed my love to him
'Cause I loved him at the time
Because, during that period, I genuinely loved him
And I told him that I didn't want any other lips touchin' mine
I conveyed that I didn't desire anyone else's lips on mine
I whispered love your kisses are sweeter than the wine
I whispered that his kisses were more delightful than wine
But I'd never tasted champagne at the time
Despite that, I had not experienced champagne at that time
At the time I didn't know your name
During that period, I didn't know your name
And I'd never seen your face
I had not seen your face at that time
At the time I'd never lost myself
I hadn't lost myself in your tender warm embrace
In your tender warm embrace
I hadn't immersed myself in your affectionate hug
If you've never had filet mignon
Comparing love to different experiences, suggesting peanut butter is sufficient if you haven't had the best
Peanut butter taste just fine
Emphasizing that simple pleasures suffice when you haven't experienced the finest
And that's the way it was when I loved him at the time
Describing the simplicity of love during that time
When I found you I started hearing
Upon finding you, I started experiencing beautiful and unfamiliar music
Pretty music I'd never heard
Referencing the discovery of new and pleasant aspects in the relationship
And quietly when we spoke of love
Expressing that discussions about love became enriched and meaningful
It was like I'd learned a brand new word
Comparing the impact of love to learning a new word
I once thought I'd seen everything but till I met you I was blind
Reflecting on past ignorance and realizing a new level of understanding after meeting you
And I wonder now was I even born at the time
Questioning if life had true meaning before encountering you
At the time I didn't know your name
Reiterating that, at that time, I didn't know your name
And I'd never seen your face
Reiterating that I hadn't seen your face during that time
At the time I'd never lost myself
Reiterating that I hadn't lost myself in your tender warm embrace
In your tender warm embrace
Reiterating the absence of deep emotional connection at that time
If you've never had a T-bone steak
Comparing experiences, suggesting that simple things are enjoyable when you haven't had the best
Saltine crackers taste just fine
Highlighting the satisfaction of basic pleasures when superior ones are yet to be experienced
And that's the way it was when I loved him at the time
Describing the simplicity of love during that time
If you've never been to Paris, France
Comparing travel destinations, implying that a modest place is sufficient if you haven't been to the best
Big Spring Texas will suit you fine
Suggesting contentment with a less glamorous location when you haven't experienced the grandest
And that's the way I was when I loved him at the time
Reiterating the simplicity of love during that specific time
