It
Brad Mehldau Lyrics

I didn't know what time it was
I was lost and uncertain about the direction my life was taking.

Till I met you.
Until I crossed paths with you, I was clueless about what happiness and love were like.

Oh, what lovely time it was,
Everything changed when you came into my life. It was like discovering a world of unparalleled beauty and joy.

How sublime it was too!
The experience was beyond anything I had ever known or expected.

I didn't know what day it was
My existence felt meaningless and insignificant, wrapped up in a fog of routine and monotony that left me numb and unfulfilled.

You hold my hand.
Then you arrived and suddenly, everything felt different. You held my hand and gave me the confidence to face life with hope and courage.

Warm like the month of May it was,
Your presence felt like a warm blanket enveloping me, giving me the comfort and protection I had been yearning for so long.

And I'll say it was grand.
Being with you was like a dream come true. You brought a kind of magic into my life that I thought was impossible to find.

Grand to be alive, to be young,
I realized that life is a precious gift and that being young and full of energy is a blessing that should not be taken for granted.

To be mad, to be yours alone!
I was happy to be crazy in love with you, and to have the privilege of your affection exclusively for myself.

Grand to see your face, feel your touch,
The simple things in our relationship, like seeing your face and feeling your touch, brought me immense joy and fulfillment.

Hear your voice say I'm yours alone.
Hearing you say that I was the only one for you gave me the sense of belonging that I had been searching for all my life.

I didn't know what year it was
My life was going by, without any sense of purpose or direction. Time had no meaning for me.

Live was no prize.
The way I was living my life was bleak and uninspiring. I was going through the motions without any real passion or motivation.

I wanted love and here it was
But then I met you, and everything changed. Love was right in front of me, and I could not believe my luck.

Shining out of your eyes.
I saw love in your eyes, and it made me feel alive and hopeful again.

I'm wise,
I have learned a lot from my experiences, and I am now more aware of what really matters in life.

And I know what time it is now.
Thanks to you, I have become more conscious of how precious time is, and I want to make the most of every moment we have together.

I'm so wise,
The lessons I have learned from my relationship with you have made me wiser, more mature, and more grateful for everything that life has to offer.
