Machine Head

AT THE TIME

Writer Bill Anderson

RECORDED BY JEAN SHPEARD AND BY LYNN 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 butter 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
