Once upon a summertime, if you recall
|
We stopped beside a little flower stall
|
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all I'd let you buy me
|
Once upon a summertime, just like today
|
We laughed the happy afternoon away
|
And stole a kiss in every street cafe
|
You were sweeter than the blossom on the tree
|
I was as proud as any girl could be
|
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris
|
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
|
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
|
But I'll remember when the vespers chimed
|
You loved me once
|
|
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
|
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
|
But I'll remember when the vespers chimed
|
You loved me once
|
You loved me once upon a summertime
