Ray Charles
I Didn’t Know What Time It Was
[Verse 1]
I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was
How sublime it was too
I didn't know what day it was
You held my hand
Warm, like the month of May, it was
And I'll say it was grand
[Verse 2]
Grand to be alive, to be young
To be mad, to be yours alone
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Hear your voice say I'm all your own
Oh, I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
So I'm wise, baby
And I know what time it is now
[Verse 2]
Oh, I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
So I'm wise, baby
'Cause I know what time it is now
[Outro]
Listen, I didn't know what time it was
Have mercy
Whoo, you lookin' good, baby
Whoo, feel good all over
I know what time it is now, baby
