about

I was challenged to create an arrangement of this song by my dear friend "James Knox" it's one of his favorites. It's based on the Jazz Standard "I didn't know what time it was" sung by many but specifically by Carmen McRae. I wanted to create something Raul, my bass player could have fun with.

lyrics

Lyrics adapted from the Jazz Standard "I didn't know what time it was"

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 took my hand
Oh, what a lovely day it was and I'll say it was grand

Grand to be alive to feel your touch to know you're mine
Grand to hear your voice to see your face to know you're mine
I'm alive and I know what time it is now

vamp:
I'm alive and I know...
I am wise and I know

I'm a live and I know what time it is now
