Once I was young Yesterday, perhaps Danced with Jim and Paul And kissed some other chaps Once I was young But never was naive I thought I had a trick or two Up my imaginary sleeve And now I know I was naive 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 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 I didn't know what year it was Life was no prize I wanted love and here it was Shining out of your eyes I'm wise And I know what time it is now I didn't know what time it was Then I met you Oh, what a lovely time it was And 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 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 I didn't know what year it was Life was no prize I wanted love and here it was Shining out of your eyes I'm wise And I know what time it is now

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. 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. I didn't know what year it was, Life was no prize. I wanted love and here it was Shining out of your eyes. I'm wise, And I know what time it is Yes, I'm wise and I know what time it is now.

Don't say one thing one day, Then something else the next day. I'm trying to keep up with you - It's hard enough when you speak clearly, But when you're confused, It's like a goods train running through these rooms. And I'm reading more into your words than you have put into them, And that's my problem, but you tied these knots, now you undo them. You undo them. Oh and think before you speak my darling. Cause with your troubled mind, You're like a goods train running through my life. We all walk through this world alone, We keep ourselves untouched, unknown. You look up to the sky above you, Read this there - I love you. Oh it's written there, You know I love you, love you, love you. But with your troubled mind, You're like a goods train running through my life. And when you're down, You bring me down too, And babe that's something I would not do. I know it's hard, yeah I know it's hard, And baby that's something I don't disregard. But with your troubled mind, You're like a goods train running through my life.
