Billie Holiday ~ I Didn't Know What Time It Was


Richard rodgers / lorenz hart 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. Refrain 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 time it was You hold 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 tosee your face, feel your touch, Hear your voice say i'm all your own. I didn't know what time it was Live was no prize. I whanted love and here it was Shining out of your eyes. I'm wise, And i know what time it is now. Verse 2 Once i was old -- Twenty years or so -- Rather well preserved: The wrinkles did't show. Once i was old, But not too old for fun. I used to hunt for little girls Up my immaginary gun. But now i ain for only one! Refrain 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 time it was You hold 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 tosee your face, feel your touch, Hear your voice say i'm all your own. I didn't know what time it was Live was no prize. I whanted love and here it was Shining out of your eyes. I'm wise, And i know what time it is now. more free lyrics

Richard rodgers / lorenz hart

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.

Refrain

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 time it was
You hold 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 tosee your face, feel your touch,
Hear your voice say i'm all your own.

I didn't know what time it was
Live was no prize.
I whanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes.
I'm wise,
And i know what time it is now.

Verse 2

Once i was old --
Twenty years or so --
Rather well preserved:
The wrinkles did't show.
Once i was old,
But not too old for fun.
I used to hunt for little girls
Up my immaginary gun.
But now i ain for only one!

Refrain

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 time it was
You hold 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 tosee your face, feel your touch,
Hear your voice say i'm all your own.

I didn't know what time it was
Live was no prize.
I whanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes.
I'm wise,
And i know what time it is now.

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
