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 wanted 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.
Ray Charles Robinson (Albany, 23 settembre 1930 ? Beverly Hills, 10 giugno 2004) è stato un cantante e pianista statunitense, considerato uno dei pionieri della musica soul. Cieco dall'età di sette anni a causa di un glaucoma, seppe coniugare sonorità diverse, dal rhythm and blues alla musica country. Il brano Georgia on My Mind è stato il suo più grande successo. Nel 1990 partecipò, classificandosi al secondo posto, al Festival di Sanremo dove interpretò in coppia con Toto Cutugno la canzone Gli amori. Il suo ultimo contributo alla musica è stato la produzione di un disco di duetti con Elton John, Norah Jones e Johnny Mathis. The Genius - come era stato soprannominato per il suo straordinario talento artistico, nel 1980 apparve nel film The Blues Brothers. Frank Sinatra lo chiamò "l'unico vero genio del business". Nel 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine lò nominò 10º tra i 100 più grandi artisti di tutti i tempi[3] e 2º nella classifica del 2008 dei 100 più grandi cantanti di sempre.
