I didn't know what time it was
'Til I met you
Oh, what lovely time it was
I said, "lovely," once too
I did n't know what day it was
'Til you held my hand
Warm, like the month of May it was
And that's when
I was prayin'
Prayin' to be alive
To be young, to be mad
To be yours alone
Prayin' 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 wild, and I know
I didn't know what time it was
'Til I met you
Oh, what lovely time it was
I said, "lovely," once too
I didn't know what
day it was
'Til you held my hand
Warm, like the month of
May it was
And that's when
I was prayin'
Prayin' to be alive
To be young, to be mad
To be yours alone
Prayin' 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 wild, and I know
You are that promised
kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the birds hush-
hush hush- hush
That sprinkle thunder,
bring love, a lovely song
You're the angel there that
lights the stars
Little things I never knew
how what you are
How what you are
Someday my happy arms
will hold you
And someday I know that
moonlit heave
I will know the things you are
If they ask me
I bet I could write a book
About the way you are
And whisper and look
I could write a preface on how we met
And my world would never forget
The simple secret of my plot
Is just to tell you that I love you a lot
And the world discovers when
my book ends
Oh, how to make two lovers a friend
If they ask me
I could write a book
About the way you are
And whisper and look
I could write a preface on how we met
And the world would never forget
The simple, simple secret of my plot
Is just to tell you that I love you a lot
And the world discovers
when my book ends
How to make two lovers a friend
How to make two lovers a friend
