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