I Didn't Know What Time It Was
Embracing Love Across Time: The Supremes' Timeless Melody
Lyrics
I didn't know what time it was
I was unaware of the current situation or circumstances.
Then I met you
My awareness changed when I encountered you.
Oh, what a lovely time it was
Expressing the delightful nature of the time after meeting you.
How sublime it was, too
Describing the time as not only delightful but also elevated.
I didn't know what day it was
I was unaware of the date or specific day.
You held my hand
Your touch brought warmth to my life.
Warm like the month of May it was
Comparing the warmth to the pleasantness of the month of May.
And I'll say it was grand
Emphasizing the experience as magnificent or splendid.
Grand to be alive, to be young
Expressing the joy of being alive and youthful.
To be mad, to be yours alone
Expressing the ecstasy of being in love and devoted to you.
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Highlighting the delight in seeing your face and feeling your touch.
Hear your voice say I'm all your own
Reveling in hearing your voice claim ownership of me.
I didn't know what year it was
I was uncertain about the timeframe or era.
Life was no prize
Life didn't hold much value or excitement.
I wanted love and here it was
Expressing the desire for love, which was found in your eyes.
Shining out of your eyes
Describing the love as radiant and profound.
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
Claiming wisdom and awareness of the current moment.
Time it is now
Repetition emphasizing the present moment.
Time it is now
-I didn't know what year it was
Reiterating the uncertainty about the timeframe or era.
Life was no prize
Repetition of the feeling that life lacked value.
I wanted love and here it was
Reiteration of the desire for love found in your eyes.
Shining out of your eyes
Repetition of describing love as radiant and profound.
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
Reasserting wisdom and awareness of the current moment.
Time it is now
Repetition emphasizing the present moment.
Time it is now
-What time is it?
Pose a rhetorical question about the current time.
Time it is now
Repetition emphasizing the current moment.
Anybody know what time it is?
Pose a general question to anyone about the current time.
