Once upon a summertime, if you recall,
We stopped beside a little flower stall.
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots
was all you'd let me buy me
Once Upon A Summertime,
just like today.
We laughed the happy afternoon away,
and stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe.
You were sweeter than blossoms 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 remember when the vespers chimed.
You loved me Once Upon A Summertime.
