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 ever let you buy me
Once upon a summertime just like today We laughed the happy afternoon away And stole a kiss at every street cafe
You were sweeter Than the blossoms on the tree I was as proud as any girl could be As if the mayor had offered me The key to Paris
Chorus (2x): Now another winter time has come and gone The pigeons feeding in the square have flown But I remember when the vespers chimed You loved me once upon a summertime
