G C G
I told him that I loved him cause I loved him at the time
A7 D7
And I told him that I didn't want any other lips touching mine
G C G
I whispered love your kisses are sweeter than the wine
D7 G
But I'd never tasted champagne at the time
C G
At the time I didn't know your name and I'd never seen your face
A7 D7
At the time I'd never lost myself in your tender warm embrace
G C G
If you've never had filet mignon peanut butter taste just fine
D7 G
And that's the way it was when I loved him at the time
C G
When I found you I started hearing pretty music I've never heard
A7 D7
And quietly when we spoke of love it was like I'd learned a brand new word
G C G
I once thought I'd seen everything but till I met you I was blind
D7 G
And I wonder now was I even born at the time
C G
At the time I didn't know your name and I'd never seen your face
A7 D7
At the time I'd never lost myself in your tender warm embrace
G C G
If you've never had a T-bone steak saltine crackers taste just fine
D7 G
And that's the way it was when I loved him at the time
C G
If you've never been to Paris France Big Spring Texas will suit you fine
D7 G
And that's the way it was when I loved him at the time
