I Didn't Know What Time It Was
Timeless Discovery: Unveiling Life's Rhythms Through Roland Hanna's Melody
Lyrics
Once I was young
Reflecting on the past when the speaker was young
Yesterday, perhaps
Reference to a time in the past, possibly yesterday
Danced with Jim and Paul
Recalling dancing with individuals named Jim and Paul
And kissed some other chaps
Admitting to having kissed other men
Once I was young
Reiterating a past youthful period
But never was naive
Acknowledging previous experiences but not being naive
I thought I had a trick or two
Believing to possess knowledge or skills
Up my imaginary sleeve
Having confidence in one's abilities or plans
And now I know I was naive
Realizing the previous naivety
I didn't know what time it was
Not understanding the passage of time before meeting the person being addressed
Then I met you
Discovering someone new
Oh, what a lovely time it was
Expressing the delightful moments experienced
How sublime it was too
Describing the experience as extremely beautiful
I didn't know what day it was
Being unaware of the specific day
You held my hand
Experiencing closeness with the person
Warm like the month of May it was
Comparing the warmth of the moment to the pleasantness of May
And I'll say it was grand
Describing the experience as magnificent
Grand to be alive, to be young
Expressing joy in being alive and young
To be mad, to be yours alone
Being ecstatic and devoted to the person
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Feeling intense happiness seeing the person's face and feeling their touch
Hear your voice say, "I'm all your own"
Hearing the person affirming exclusivity in the relationship
I didn't know what year it was
Not having a clear sense of the year previously
Life was no prize
Life seemed unexciting or lacking value
I wanted love and here it was
Desiring love and finding it in the person being addressed
Shining out of your eyes
Feeling the presence of love in the person's gaze
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
Realizing and understanding the present moment
Grand to be alive, to be young
Expressing joy in being alive and young (repeated)
To be mad, to be yours alone
Being ecstatic and devoted to the person (repeated)
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Feeling intense happiness seeing the person's face and feeling their touch (repeated)
Hear your voice say, "I'm all your own"
Hearing the person affirming exclusivity in the relationship (repeated)
I didn't know what year it was
Not having a clear sense of the year previously (repeated)
Life was no prize
Life seemed unexciting or lacking value (repeated)
I wanted love and here it was
Desiring love and finding it in the person being addressed (repeated)
Shining out of your eyes
Feeling the presence of love in the person's gaze (repeated)
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
Understanding the present moment and feeling wise
