Recorded by Jean Shepard
Written by Bill Anderson

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
