Lyrics
I didn't know what time it was
Realization of ignorance about the current state or situation.
Then I met you
Introduction of a significant person in the speaker's life.
Oh, what a lovely time it was
Expressing the joy and beauty experienced after meeting the person.
How sublime it was too!
Highlighting the extraordinary and elevated nature of the experience.
I didn't know what day it was
Another moment of not knowing the specifics of time, possibly indicating a carefree state.
Then you held my hand
The physical connection with the person, adding warmth and comfort to the speaker's 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
Describing the overall experience as magnificent.
Grand to be alive, to be young
Expressing the greatness of being alive, young, and in love.
To be mad, to be yours alone
Acknowledging the intensity of emotions, particularly being devoted to the mentioned person.
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Highlighting the joy derived from seeing the person's face, feeling their touch, and hearing their voice.
Hear your voice say I'm all your own
Affirmation of exclusive ownership and connection with the person.
I didn't know what year it was
Returning to a state of temporal confusion, indicating a timeless and enduring love.
Life was no prize
Life was not fulfilling until the speaker found love.
I wanted love and here it was
Expressing the desire for love, which is now fulfilled by the person.
Shining out of your eyes
Describing the radiance of love through the person's eyes.
Once I was old, twenty years or so
Reflecting on the past when the speaker was older, possibly before finding true love.
Rather well preserved, the wrinkles didn't show
Despite aging, the speaker was well-preserved, and love concealed the signs of time.
Once I was old, but not too old for fun
Embracing the present joy and dismissing past pursuits for superficial pleasures.
I used to hunt for little girls up my imaginary gun
Admitting past mistakes and a shift from pursuing many to being devoted to one.
But now I ain't for only one
Expressing commitment to a single person, forsaking previous tendencies.
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
Claiming wisdom and understanding the essence of time, possibly implying a mature perspective.
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
Reiteration of wisdom and awareness of the current phase in life.
I'm so wise and I know what time it is now
Emphasizing profound wisdom and a clear understanding of the present moment.
