(Verse)
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 held 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 to see your face, feel your touch,
Hear your voice say I'm all your own.
I didn't know what time it was,
Life 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)
Once I was old--
Twenty years or so--
Rather well preserved,
The wrinkles didn't show.
Once I ws old,
But not too old for fun.
I used to hunt for little girls
Up my imaginary gun.
But now I aim for only one!
(Repeat Refrain)

Benny Goodman (1909-1986) è stato un clarinettista, compositore e bandleader statunitense considerato uno dei pionieri del jazz moderno. Nato a Chicago da una famiglia ebrea, Goodman iniziò a suonare il clarinetto all'età di sette anni. Dopo aver suonato in diverse orchestre locali, nel 1934 formò la sua famosa orchestra, che divenne rapidamente un punto di riferimento per il jazz swing. Goodman fu uno dei primi artisti a portare il jazz al grande pubblico, grazie ai suoi concerti sold-out e alle sue registrazioni popolari. La sua musica era caratterizzata da una combinazione di swing ritmico, melodie orecchiabili e improvvisazioni virtuosistiche. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Goodman ci sono "Sing, Sing, Sing", "Let's Dance" e "Stompin' at the Savoy". La sua orchestra fu composta da alcuni dei migliori musicisti jazz dell'epoca, tra cui Teddy Wilson, Lionel Hampton e Gene Krupa. Goodman contribuì a diffondere il jazz in tutto il mondo, con tour in Europa e Asia. La sua influenza sul jazz è stata enorme, ispirando generazioni di musicisti.
