I             didn't know what time it was,           then I met you
 E7(9)   A7                        A7                 D9             D6                    
Oh             what a lovely time it was -- how sublime it was too!

I             didn't know what day it was         you held my hand.
 E7(9)           A7                                                        A7 
Warm         like the month of May it was,
 D7M             D6                   D 
And I'll say it was grand.
 D7M     F#m     A7     Em7      
Grand to be alive, to be young,
             D7M               D5       D7(9)   Em7 
To be mad, to be yours       alone!
       A7  Em7   D6                    Em7 
Grand   to   see your face, feel your touch,
                  A7     Em7               A7     D6     B7 
Hear your voice say, "I'm all your own!"
 B7   F#m                          B7                 F#m              B7 
I           didn't know what year it was,     life was no prize.
 Em7(9)  B7               Em             B                           D                                        B7 
    I           wanted love and here it was       shining out of your eyes.
    E     C#m7(b5)       A                            E 
I'm wise       and I know what time it is now.
